Please explain this in detail.

i created 2 forms in a project. 2 forms namely, form1 and form2. form1 uses a linklabel control (System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel) to open up form 2. So when i click on this text "open form 2" which is the link label, it should open up the windows form2. SOrry but i don't really know how to explain in much detail, hope the above helps abit...thanks!

private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
Form2 form2 = new Form2();

form2.Show();
//or
form2.ShowDialog();

}

I didn't know what you meant by "linked" In the onclick event, just create an instance of the 2nd form and show it.

Oh ic.. it works! haha thanks! Btw, what's the difference between form2.show and form2.showdialog? I mean i tried with both but i can't spot any visible difference..can u explain in some simple terms? hehe.

With form2.ShowDialog() form2 must be closed before any other window will be active, with form2.Show() you will be able to work in any window.

Simple... just throw a link object on the form in the designer u know and double click on that, this will open the click event. In taht click event just write your code as, form2.ShowDialog(this); Rocky
