Creating a form dynamically in VB

Question

I have a form that is created by default. That has been designed to the way I want it to, now I want to create a new form dynamically, but I want to set the new form to look exactly like the one created by default. Programming in VB.NET (WinForms) and Environment VS2010.

I have so far:

Dim newWindow As new Form

newWindow = Me

newWindow.Show()

I know there should be something like newWindow inherits Form1 but can't figure out where to put it =S

Thanks in advance.

What is the Form's name of the Form you created.

You are currently creating a Form, then assigning your current Form to it. You need to New up another instance of your Form then you can show it, along with your Main Form.

Dim newWindow As New Form1 'Name of my Default Form's Class assuming Form1.
newWindow.Show()
