I would like to show a form by calling a method of a usercontrol, can anyone
advise how to do this.

eg :  myControl.ShowInfoForm() and have the FrmInfo shown.

Patrick & Helga,
Use something like:

class UserControl1
{
    void ShowInfoForm()
    {
        FrmInfo frm = new FrmInfo();
        frm.Show();
    }

There is also a ShowDialog method which will show the form Modally.

Hope this helps
Jay

Just create a new instance of the form class and call .Show() on it?
