Form location relative to another form

Question

I have a button on a form "Form1", when users click this button, another form "Form2" will pop up. How can I adjust Form2's location so that it is at the center of the Form1 when it pops up? I tried adjusting the location properties but it is not working.

Thanks for the help.

What does it mean "I tried adjusting the location properties but it is not working"? It's like asking why you PC does not power up without saying anything other, — Jamby

You need to set the StartPosition property of Form2 to CenterParent and show the form using

Form2 form2 = new Form2();
form2.ShowDialog();

If you don't want to show the form as dialog follow the confirmed answer of this question:
