You first need to create the form before you can reference it and set properties of it. Have a look here:

Good luck!

Thank you sir for reply..
but i want to show that form just exactly beside of that button only..from your suggestion i have tried it but that form is opening anywhere on the screen...

That is correct, but before you show the form you can set the left property like you tried before. But because you now have an actual instance it won't give you an exception. Try squeezing the line in ;-)

Solution 2

Try this

VB

Private Sub myButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim childForm = New childFormClassName()
    childForm.Location = Me.PointToScreen(myButton.Location)
    childForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
    childForm.Show()
End Sub
