Solution 1

Just instantiate the child form like you would any other object:

MyForm form = new MyForm();
form.ShowDlg();

[EDIT - Removed unclosed bold tag which was making rest of the page bold]

You could also run the new form as a Process so you are running a new Program from the old Program.

That way the second form wont die if you close the first.

Check out the Process class.

I know this is not the form within a form as you asked but you may find it useful
