MDI parent form and child form

Hi, I m doing migration from VB6 to VB.net. The way to show form within MDI form as following:

In VB6

Call form1.show()

I can call child form within MDI form using the syntax above directly, whereas in VB.net it gives me AccessViolationException

Does anyone know how to solve this problem

    Hi,

    you probably just need to create a new instance of Form1. Put the following code on your MDI parent form:

    Dim form As New Form1()
    form.MdiParent =
    Me
    form.Show()
