In dotnet, you don't design the form as modal, you specifiy that by how you call it. You can set all the forms properties to make it act like you expect a modal form to act (like always on top, no icon in the status bar...)
When you call it, you use the ShowDialog() method instead of Show()

c# example, vb.net should be similar

using(MyForm frm = new MyForm())
{
	DialogResult rslt = frm.ShowDialog(this);
	if (rslt != DialogResult.Cancel)
	{
		string val = frm.Text;
		//Do something
	}
}

>So far in all my playing, I have just created winforms and ran them. Now I'm trying to understand how to put together a series of forms like I do in vfp where I have a main.prg that I call a form (Model login form) and if returns .t. or false, if True, I do my main form and then a read events. Looking at the winforms, I don't see Model nor have I see an equivilent of read events. If someone can show me a link or 2 or 3 lines how you setup something like that I'd appreciate it, thanks for all your help.
