Calling a Dynamic form

Jun 20th, 2007

I have a SQL table with a list of forms (frmForm1, frmForm2)

i have a listbox that fills from this table and i would like it to call the form in the 'FormToCall' Column

How can i call a form if i only know the form name at runtime?

i didn't understand what your saying here?

Try declaring an object for the form2 and call it at runtime..

There is just two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.

I have found the solution

 Help with Code Tags 
 VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Dim assem As Reflection.Assembly = Me.GetType.Assembly
Dim frm As Form = assem.CreateInstance(assem.GetName.Name & ".frmMaint")
frm.Show()
Dim assem As Reflection.Assembly = Me.GetType.Assembly
Dim frm As Form = assem.CreateInstance(assem.GetName.Name & ".frmMaint")
frm.Show()
