Question

    private void userToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        frUser user = new frUser();
        user.Show();
    }


    private void categoryToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        frCategory category = new frCategory();
        category.Show();

hi, why i can open user form using this code yet cannot do for category? when i put 'category.' the suggestion didnt show up 'Show' and when i manually do this, the code is not being recognized by vs.

this is a code at a main form to open subform using tool stripbar.

thank you

_"the code is not being recognized by vs"_ What does that mean? Do you get a compiler error? If so, what does it say? If not, did you try to compile and run the program? What is the type of `frCategory`? — 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine, Dec 12 '20 at 13:39

The Show() method is part of the System.Windows.Forms.Form class. Your frCategory class must inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Form.
