Visual Basic 6 and .NET handle forms somewhat differently. To add a new Windows form to an existing project:

STEP 1. From Visual.NET dropdown: PROJECT -> Add new Item (shortcut: CTRL + SHIFT + A)
STEP 2. Select Windows Form and choose a name for the form class like frmAbout for say an About dialogue box
STEP 3. Where you want to show the new fom add the following code:

Dim frmAbout as New frmAbout

STEP 4. To display the form use one of the following:

To allow the user to navigate on other windows use Show

frmAbout.Show()

To force the user to respond to the form use ShowDialog

frmAbout.ShowDialog()
