    Change initial form displayed. From form1 to form2

    I have a windows form project which originally contained one form, the
    standard form. Form1.

    I've added another form now, form2 which i'm experimenting with.

    I'd like to display form2 when i run the application instead of form1.

    How do i do this?

    I know this must be a frequent request, but i've searched and can't
    find a straightforward explanation (which i'm sure must exit!)

    Thankyou,

    Gary-

      Look for a static Main method; in 1.1 I believe this used to go into
      Form1.cs when auto-generated; in 2.0 it tends to live in Program.cs.
      In an auto-generated method it basically just does an Application.Run
      on a new instance of Form1; so change it to your desired form. Note
      that the project properties can be used to disambiguate if there are
      multiple eligible Main methods that look like an entry-point.

          Hi,

          And the answer is even simplier, look for your Main method and change this
          line from:

          Application.Run (new Form1());

          To:

          Application.Run (new Form2());
