Then a message box pops up and then after the user clicks ok, i want it to show a new form that i have created. the thing is i don't know how to program the program to switch to another form. And yes, I have tried form2.Show and it doesn't work. I also tried form2.Show(). Please help!

using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1

{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Good choice");

You've written "form2.Show" twice. It works; you did something wrong. I don't see what.

try this:

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Good choice");

Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.ShowDialog();
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Eh");
}
}
}

hope this helps :)

Solution 1

It should be as simple as this.[^], so unless you post some code here it will be hard for anyone to detect what could be going wrong.
