Hi Richard. This almost looks like MS Access Basic syntax :). In C#, forms are objects just like everything else, and are instantiated with their class name. If I have a form called "DocForm" in my project, I could add an instance of this form at runtime with the following:

DocForm f = new DocForm();
f.Show()

Was this what you meant?

You can use reflection. A primitive implementation would be like this: Type t = Type.GetType("FormName"); Form f = (Form) Activator.CreateInstance(t); That of course depends on what you mean with "forms are added dynamically", if the specified type is in the same assembly where the above code is executing, it should work.

Thank both of you! The second answer is What I wanted,I have test it works. Following is my test code ///--------------------------------------------------------------------------- private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Module[] moduleArray; moduleArray = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules(false); //In a simple project with only one module, the module at index // 0 will be the module containing these classes. Module myModule = moduleArray[0]; Type myType; myType = myModule.GetType("WindowsApplication1.Form2"); Form f = (Form) Activator.CreateInstance(myType); f.Show(); } ///------------------------------------------------------------------------- ///-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Richard. I think I misunderstood what you were looking to do. I'm glad you got the information you needed from Baris' post.
