How is a form loaded in VB.NET?

I have converted my VB 6.0 project over to VB.NET. I am having a problem with a load form call. In VB.NET, how is a form loaded? This is the original code: Load frmTest. How is this done in VB.NET? 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                          ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
                          Handles Button1.Click
    ' Show the form as a modaless window.
    Dim x As Form2 = New Form2
    x.Show()
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                          ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
                          Handles Button2.Click
    ' Show this form as a dialog.
    Dim x As Form3 = New Form3
    x.ShowDialog(Me)
End Sub
