Hey,

Im trying to run two C# projects (merge together) and then from the click of a button open up a form from the other project if that made sense.. so for example i have project 1 and project 2 i want to merge them together and then say in project one create a button that opens up a windows form that has been created in project 2?

Sorry im quite a newbie with all this smile.gif

Thanks,

Mattlav smile.gif

you open the fist project in c#, then you right click the solution and select Add -> Existing Project, so you add the second project in your solution.

Then you add a reference by right clicking the first project->Add reference, go in the Projects tab and select the second project.

After these steps you should be able to access the forms from your second project like this:

CODE
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            WindowsFormsApplication2.Form1 aa = new WindowsFormsApplication2.Form1();
            aa.Show();
        }


this way you create a new instance of the Form you need from the second project and the Show it.

I hope you understand.
