After you've created the item (such as a ToolStripMenuItem) you want to trigger the launch of your about dialog... double click on it to make an event handler for it's default event and add this code (which may need to be changed based on your names):

Code Snippet

AboutBox1 dialog = new AboutBox1();

dialog.ShowDialog();
