Well, lets say the currently opened page is: [b]welcome.aspx[/b] And when the user clicks on a button [i]continue[/i], you want the page [b]login.aspx[/b] to open, so make an event on the button, and inside the event use this: Response.Redirect("login.aspx"); Does that answer your question?

I guess you could use this, i'm also new to this;- under the button_Click event hendler of Form1, create an instance of Form2 i.e. Form2 nextForm = new Form2(); then hide the previous instance of the form class Form1 like this this.Hide(); or Form1.Hide(); then activate the second form like this nextForm.show(); ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hope it works!!

I'm new at C# so I thought I'd give this a shot. Not as easy as I figured. I created Form1 that then creates Form2. When I tried to let Form1 unload itself, the app closes. I never could find a way to have Form2 tell Form1 to close itself. However, if I could, I bet it would close the app as Form1 is the root (parent) form. Maybe you could use one form and show/hide panels of components in a "Wizard" next/previous sort of thing. Is that what you're after? Sorry I don't have a good answer. I'm just getting going and everything is new to me again coming from VB6.
