How to set which of the forms appear first

Question

I'm a beginner c# programmer, and i'm getting familiar with the Windows Forms App. I have 2 forms and i'm trying to understand how to set one of them to be the first one that appears when i'm running the application.

Is there a way to set this, or I have to create the forms by the order they appears?

Are you trying to make one appear first or on top? The answer below is good for the being first. Consider z-order for putting one on top of the other http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6049927/windows-form-objects-appear-infront-of-other-items — kenny, Nov 25 '12 at 16:45

In Program.cs, you will see the following line of code

Application.Run(new Form1());

This line shows Form1.
You can change it to do whatever you want.

In your visual studi, when ever you open a project by default program.cs will open.

   static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }

you can see above Application.Run(new Form1());

whatever your form name is type there, then whenever you are starting first this form will run
