how to make it so when button is clicked a new form pops up!

Hi, im pretty familiar with vb 6 but i just purchased vb.net. In vb6 i would usually type: form1.visible = true
or form1.visible = false etc... how can i do that in .net so that when i click a button that a new form pops up! thanks

I need the answer to this question also.

I'm brand new to .net myself, but try:

Dim frmForm1 as New Form1
frmForm1.Show

Thanks. It does work. Now outa curiosity, when the new form pops up, how do i get the one behind it to disappear.
Ex. im @ main menu and i click button to go another form, i see the form i desire but the main menu is still behind. any ideas?

Below will work:

Dim frmForm2 As New Form2
' the me.hide hides the current form before showing form2
Me.Hide()
frmForm2.Show()

Of course, then you would have to handle showing form1 again on termination of form2.
