  Hi,
  
  you can make a dll out of your App1 and Add it to your Project References. Then youu can use the classes of App1 but you have to ship the dll with your Application.

  Hi DSK,
  
  You would need to qualify the Form1 class with the namespace after having added a Project Reference to App2 in App1 Project.
  
  The code snippet below shows declaring a Form1 class of App2 application within App1 Project's Form1 eventhandler.
  
  ---------------------------------------------------
  CODE SNIPPET
  ---------------------------------------------------
  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     App2.Form1 objForm1 = new App2.Form1();
     objForm1.Show();
  }
  ---------------------------------------------------

  Hi Chakrawarthy,
  
  I assumed you had meant a ClassLibrary for App2. In .NET v1.1 and .NET v1.0 its not possible to add add a .EXE file as reference. I tried however in v2.0 and in VS2005 Beta, it allowed me to add another .EXE as a reference.
  
  I was able to compile and it worked as well with another .EXE as a dependency.

  I merged all of these threads rather than deleting them since multiple answers where given.

  This should work. Set a reference to App2 and then in your event in App1.
  
  Assuming App2 is your namespace in the second app...
  
  App2.Form1 form = new App2.Form1()
  form.Show

  DSK,
  
  Please do not cross-forum post. You have posted the same question in 5 different forums.
  
  Be patient, someone will eventually help you. So there is not reason to do that. In fact it makes people less likely to help you.
