I am trying to call 2 user controls with one button click. I can get it to work with one user control, but when I try adding the second user control it gives me issues.

I am using:

VB

Dim obj1 As New UserControl1
obj1.AutoSize = True
obj1.AutoScroll = True
frmMain.pnlUser.Controls.Add(obj1)

When I try to call the second one I just use the same coding under the same button but change the obj1 to obj2 and the usercontol1 to usercontol2 and tell it what panel.
I am new to this so any help would be great with the VB coding.

Are you saying that you want to create two users controls using one button click?
I create my own example using your code and it worked fine. I used two panels, two user controls, and a button. By the look of your code I assumed frmMain to be a reference to your main form passed to a second form where the button click handler was located so I did this as well. Here is my code and it worked just fine for me if it is not working for you I assume you are just overlooking some small detail.

VB

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim obj1 As New UserControl1
    obj1.AutoSize = True
    obj1.AutoScroll = True
    frmMain.Panel1.Controls.Add(obj1)

    Dim obj2 As New UserControl2
    obj2.AutoSize = True
    obj2.AutoScroll = True
    frmMain.Panel2.Controls.Add(obj2)
End Sub

Let me know.

Also if you are getting any errors please post them.
