So here's my problem: I have a main form and I have a button on that form that will open a 2nd form and will close/hide the main one. I wanted that the 2nd form would be on the same location in the screen as the main form and have same size as the main form, but somehow it's not working, I can't get it to be the same size as the main form nor on the same screen location. If anyone can tell me what I did wrong I would be appreciated, here's my code:

This is the code of the button

Private Sub Button6_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click
        Dim RedesWindow2 As New Form2
        Me.Hide() 'Here, I hide/close the main form'
        Form2.DesktopLocation = Me.DesktopLocation 'Here I say that the 2nd form(form2) should be on the same screen location as the main form, which didn't work'
        Form2.Size = Me.Size 'Here I say that the size of the 2nd form(form2) should be the same as the size of the main form, which didn't work'
        RedesWindow2.ShowDialog() 'And here I show the 2nd form, but it's not the same size as the main form, nor on the same screen location'
    End Sub

PS: I'm a newbie, I just started learning VB.NET a few days ago so please go easy on me. Thanks.

Your setting the default instance(Form2) rather than the Redeswindow which is the new shiny form you are showing.

Ohh I see, thanks, that worked for the size but unfortunately it didn't work for the screen location. Now, when I click the button, the 2nd form has the same size as the main form like I wanted to but it's still not on the same screen location. Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Here's the code after I updated it

Private Sub Button6_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click
        Dim RedesWindow2 As New Form2
        Me.Hide() 
        RedesWindow2.DesktopLocation = Me.DesktopLocation 'This somehow doesn't seem to be working'
        RedesWindow2.Size = Me.Size 
        RedesWindow2.ShowDialog() 
    End Sub

Try setting the StartPosition to manual first.

Thanks, that worked perfectly.
