How to show a ABOUT Form????????

How to show a ABOUT Form????????

Hello Everyone:
I use C# want to Create a Project. In my project. there are two
forms. One is main form, and another is a about form. In the about
form there are some information about my project. such as author's
information, product support and so on.
Now, I add a button in the main form, I want that if the user click
the button. It will show the about form . In button's event . the code
like this:
{
about.show();
}
but it doesn't work, if in Delphi. It will be work.
After that, I search the msdn. I know that there is a method called
AddOwnedForm(); so I coded the code like below:
{
Form cs =new Form();
this.AddOwnedForm (cs);
cs.Show();
}
This can show a new Form , but it is not the about form....
What I should do? I'm very sorry for my English , I 'm from China.

You should just be able to do this in the main form's button click event
handler:

private void buttonAbout_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
new about().ShowDialog();
}

Close. Except that this code fails to dispose the dialog when you're =

done. Forms that are shown modally are not disposed automatically when =
=

you close them, so your own code must do it explicitly.

So better would be:

using (Form about =3D new about())
{
about.ShowDialog();
}
