Pop-up Windows Form 1

[cosmoh2o]

Does anyone know how to create a pop-up windows form that is called from another windows form in VB .NET?

The idea is to have a "main" form with a button that is clicked. When the button is clicked, another window form ("second_form&quot is brought up that has a dynamic radiobuttonlist which can then be selected. I know that this can be done with Web Applications (aspx) but I would like to know if it can be done as a stand-alone Windows executable. I am developing this program with Visual Studio 2002 Standard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The following sample pop-ups Form2 with a RadioButton, on click event of a button on Form1.

Private Sub onButtonClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim frm As New Form2()
Dim radioButton1 As New RadioButton()

' Initialize the RadioButton control.
radioButton1.Size = New Size(192, 16)
radioButton1.Text = "New Radio Button"

' Add the RadioButton control to the form.
frm.Controls.Add(radioButton1)

frm.ShowDialog(Me)
End Sub

Thank you PankajBanga. That is exactly what I was needing to know. So, a Windows Form in VB .NET is just a Class?

Indeed. Everything in .Net is a class. Even strings and integer have methods!

Well, that makes everything easier. While I'm at it, does anyone know how to print a windows form. I can't seem to find much information on the subject? I would like the current form to be sent to the computer's default printer. I am using Visual Studio 2002 Standard (with VB .NET).
Any help/hints would be great. And thanks for all the great help so far. You guys really know your stuff when it comes to VB .NET.
