using vb.net 2.0:

What's the difference between: frm.visible=true vs. frm.show ?

dim frm as New Form1
frm.Visible=True
or
frm.Show

Thanks.

There is no difference, but I'd use 'Show' to show a form.
 
Hi Moondaddy,

The Form.Show method is derived from the Control class.

MSDN document says "Showing the control is equivalent to setting the
Visible property to true. After the Show method is called, the Visible
property returns a value of true until the Hide method is called."

But as Herfried said, we usually call the Show method to show a Form.

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
