[2005] Showing new form upon exit of another

[2005] Showing new form upon exit of another

This works fine in VB6, but in VB.Net, the original form either hangs around if I call the new form with .ShowDialog() or the new form exits immediately if I call the new form with .Show()... What am I missing here?

You could Unload the current form from within the current form and then Show the new form from within the current form and everything worked fine. I realize that in VB.Net you can Hide the current form, ShowDialog on the new form and then close the current form when the new form returns. This is what I am doing now. Just wondering why the VB6 way doesn't work anymore...
