While the XAML files won't be the same, I suspect the namespaces will be different, so you could always fully qualify the other XAML name when you open it:

C#

new SecondProject.Company.Class.MainWindow().Show();

A better bet would be to rename the actual physical class name for the second instance of MainWindow. To do this, you have to change the name of the class in the Code Behind file, and change the x:Class attribute in the XAML file to use this new name.

x:Class="DXWPFApplication3.MainWindow_2" i changed the name like this. But didn't solved.

I assume you also changed the name in the code behind here? Your code to open this from the other side would be something like "new MainWindow_2().Show();".

VS underlines "MainWindow_2" and says "Namespace or Type couldn't be found"
But my second forms have that name:
----------------------------------------------------
public partial class MainWindow_2 : DXRibbonWindow
----------------------------------------------------

What's the problem?

Or can you just tell me the codes,for a button to open a new form.
