Hello,

If you want to show a form from your DLL you first need to add a form to the dll project. If you want to show the form using code inside the dll file then putting a sub inside the dll should work like:

Code: Select all

Public Sub ShowForm()
Form1.ShowDialog()
End Sub

If you want to show the form from your DLL using code inside your main application then you need to create a new instance of it like this:

Code: Select all

Dim ShowForm As New NameOfYourDLLFile.Form1
ShowForm.ShowDialog()

Replace "NameOfYourDLLFile" with the name of your DLL and dont forget you need to add your DLL as a reference in your main application though cooll;

i can not open a form in the main application from the dll like the code of the dll open the form 2 of the main application (windows application)

Hello,

As far as I know your not going to be able to do that directly unless you make the dll inside the same project as your main application.

What exactly are you trying to do though? . I mean why does your DLL need to open a form from your main application?
