Access Windows Form from a Folder

Question

I have the following folder hierarchy inside my solution folder:

Solution Name
    - Program.cs
    - Folder 1
        - File1.cs

How can I run the File1.cs (Windows Form) inside the Program.cs?

I tried updating the syntax inside the Program.cs file:

Application.Run(Solution_Name.Folder_1.File.cs); but it's not working.

Solution:

The syntax I was looking for is:

Application.Run(new Solution_Name.Folder_1.File1());

Answer 1

Have you tried

 Application.Run(new  File1());

I am able to run it succesfully

or you can also add

  using Solution_Name.Folder_1;

I dont think there can exist more than one form with the same name irrespective of it's location

Answer 2

The problem looks with correct path.

1- First check the namespace where form is located. open the File1.cs and see what name space it is in. 2- Use the full path to form Application.Run(new Solution_Name.Folder_1.File());

The syntax looks correct but there may be issue with namespace where you are looking for in question form.

Answer 3

Try this:

//Suppose your File1 form class has the same name with the File1.cs containing it.
Application.Run(new Folder_1.File1());

Or even better, you should add some using declaration and access your File1 class directly like this:

using Folder_1;
//...
Application.Run(new File1());

NOTE : each folder in the project will be treated as a namespace .

Answer 4

Application.Run(new projectName.folderName.Form1());
