In Solution Explorer right-click on the project name, and select Properties.

Right there on General you see a Startup Object. It is a combobox with all the forms and Sub Main for you to choose.

As for the your second question, a Form has to methods to show itself: Show() will show it modless, and ShowDialog() will show it modal.
