C# Change Default Form on Load

Ziycon

I want to change the default form that loads first from form1 to form2, cant remember how to do it in Visual Studio 2008, can anyone help?

I'm not sure/can't remember if there's somewhere to do this in the IDE but you can change the Application.Run line in the program.cs file to run a different WinForm by default AFAIR.

        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new [B]Form1[/B]());
        }

Nice one, that worked fine, just an other little question, i have

this.Hide();

on a button, how do i open another form that already exists, I've tried

frmMain.Show();

but it doesn't work, throws an error!?

Hi there. I dunno if this will help but i think u have to declare your new form

Form2 myForm = new Form2();
myform.show();

hi,
you can it from Program.cs,
Application.Run(new Form2());

Form2 is default form in this project.
