To run the second form in VB, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a new form in a VB project by right-clicking on the project in the Solution Explorer and selecting “Add” > “Windows Form”.<\/li>\n
  2. Instantiate an object of the second window in the code of the first window. You can add the following code at the appropriate position in the code of the first window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Dim<\/span> form2 As<\/span> New<\/span> Form2\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
