You have to instantiate the form first. Form2 is just a class that is used to create new Form2 objects. If the form you created is named Form2, then you need to create a variable of type Form2 and assign it a new instance of Form2. I'm not a C# programmer, so I can only show you an example in VB:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim MyForm2 Form2 = New Form2
    
    MyForm2.ShowDialog()
      - or -
    Myform2.Show()
      ...
End Sub

Hope this helps. :)

>I'm working with Winforms and looking for a command to show another form with the click of a command button. I have tried Form2.Show() but that doesn't seem to work. Do I need any using statements that are not added by default? I'm writing code in C#.
