Easiest way to hide a VB form?

Endurance Man

Looking for a quick simple solution to hide a form. I am swapping between two forms but they are just being generated on top of each other. The .hide method does not seem to work with forms.

setVisible false

Ahh, i don't see setVisible anywhere? Would it be: form1.setVisible(false)?

Giblet

Sorry, form1.Visible = false;

Endurance Man

Cheers giblet, that worked.

Maybe you can give me a hand with my next problem .
I have a form setup with 4 text boxes (txtName,txtEmail,txtExam,txtPercent). I have then connected to a very simple database which has a table which has properties for each of my text boxes. I have bound each text box to its appropriate property in the database as well. I then have a save button, when i click this i want the data i have entered to be saved to the dataset and then applied to the database.
Im just not sure of the code behind my save button .

Also im guessing the save function should be enclosed in a try/catch block?

Any help much appreciated.

Are you using SQL?

It would be an insert statement using the values of your textboxes.

Insert into tablename values(txtName,txtEmail,txtExam,txtPercent);

Or whatever you have.

Unless you mean you have the database table mapped to an object?

No, im just using a DataAdapter and DataSet to extract the data. I then have each text box bound to the appropriate property.
I tried this with no luck:

OleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(AllData1)
BindingContext(AllData1, "tblStudents").AddNew()
txtForename.DataBindings.Add("Text", AllData1, "tblStudents.studentForeName")
AllData1.AcceptChanges()
OleDbDataAdapter1.Update(AllData1.Tables("tblStudents"))

I'm probably way off, the notes iv been given are so badly written, cant make out half of it .
I'm very new to VB so sorry if this doesn't make any sense , more of a java man.
