In VB.NET, your code does not compile.

You would need "Form1 implements Form", and then all methods/properties in DoSomethingElse() generate compile errors.

Public Class Form1

	Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
		Form2.Something()
		Form2.Button1.Text = "Hello"
                Form2.Show()
	End Sub

        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
		Form1.Show()
	End Sub

End Class

Public Class Form2

	Public Sub Something()
		Me.Text = "Test"
		Me.NothingIsSacredAnymore()
	End Sub

	Private Sub NothingIsSacredAnymore()
		MessageBox.Show("Hello")
	End Sub

End Class

VB6 programmers had a hard time with seeing the difference between a type and a reference to an object of that type. Form1 vs frm in your snippet. There's history for that, VB didn't get classes until VB4 while forms go all the way back to VB1. This is otherwise quite crippling to the programmer's mind

Have you tried wrapping it as a service and installing as service?
