Christian Graus wrote:

class Main : Form
{

private Form1 myForm;

Main()
{
myForm = new Form1();
myForm.Show();
}
}


Now when main us constructed, a member variable is initialised and shown.

I reiterate: your instance of class1 is local to a method, which means it has no persistent lifespan. You have a collection of forms as a member variable inside a class, but you've not made the instance of that class a member.

but your code above also gives the same exact blank screen with hour glass mouse over

I really am trying to understand your concept and whats going on.
here you have created a class called main which implements form -- (dont know why it implements form)

static void Main()

class1 myClass = new class1();
myClass.myForms[0].Show();
Application.Run();

static void Main()
{
   Application.Run(new MyMainForm());
}

class MyMainForm()
{
   private void MyMainForm_Load()
   {
      myClass.myForms[0].Show();
   }
}
