open new window, please help

please help me.

i am a total beginner to vb .net and want to know if it is possible to close the current form and open another by clicking a button. If it is, how?

any help appreciated.

hope that makes sense. if not please tell me.

cheers

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim frm As New Form2
frm.Show()
End Sub

Add:

Me.Close()

after showing the form

thanks, but with the extra code it closes all the forms, not just the previous one. Am i doing something wrong?

And do you have an Application.Run() ?

it has to be like this

Private Sub _Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles .Click
Dim frm As New Form2
frm.Show()
Me.Visible = False
End Sub

did that work?? it worked for me

all that does is show the new form and 'hides' the current form. The current form will still be there taking up memory etc...

But what you no longer need the form and want to close it (after youve opened the new form)

for example youve just logged in so the login form must close after opening the main form!!!

See this thread - http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=293332

Me.close() closes all forms because you've written it in the 'base' form.
Try changing the 'base' form of your project.
