Public member 'Show' on type 'fclsDataForm' not found

I used the data form wizard to create a new form called fclsDataForm.asxp

I created a dataset throught the wizard

Then I created a button on the form called btnShowDataForm

I doubleclicked the button and added the folowing code

DIM objDataForm = New fclsDataForm
objDataForm.Show()

Here is the complete code:

Public Class WebForm
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()

End Sub
Protected WithEvents btnShowDataForm As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button

'NOTE: The following placeholder declaration is required by the Web Form Designer.
'Do not delete or move it.
Private designerPlaceholderDeclaration As System.Object

Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
InitializeComponent()
End Sub

#End Region

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShowDataForm.Click

End Sub

Private Sub btnShowDataForm_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShowDataForm.Click
Dim objDataForm = New WebForm
objDataForm.Show()
End Sub
End Class

I think your line of code:

DIM objDataForm = New fclsDataForm

should be

Dim objDataForm As New fclsDataForm()

You only use the = to instantiate objects in C#, not VB.

Hope this helps.
