Is every form on project instatiated on startup?

Question

Is every form on project instatiated on startup? if so, how do i prevent this from happening, as far as i understand every forms gets instatiated but im not really sure of this, i remember delphi IDE would allow you to select which forms would be loaded
or instatiated and which ones would need to be instatiated by user, is this posible on .net? i cant find any option related to this behavior on .net IDE. Can someone point me where can i get additional information on this.
thanks for the help.

Hello,
From Delphi project file you can see where forms are created.
program UsingRegistry;
uses
Forms,
MainForm in 'MainForm.pas' {frmMain},
JEDI_Dialogs in 'JEDI_Dialogs.pas',
Insight in 'Insight.pas' {frmInsight},
DPRegstr in 'DPRegstr.pas',
RunEntries in 'RunEntries.pas' {frmRunApps},
Unit2 in 'Unit2.pas' {EnumuateRegBranch},
MultiStrDemo in 'MultiStrDemo.pas' {frmMultiStringDemo};
{$R *.RES}
begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TfrmMain, frmMain);
Application.CreateForm(TfrmMultiStringDemo, frmMultiStringDemo);
Application.OnHint := frmMain.AppOnHint ;
Application.Run;
end.
In C#
namespace CheckOneRow
static class Program
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new frmMainForm());
While in VB.NET
Namespace My
'NOTE: This file is auto-generated; do not modify it directly. To make changes,
' or if you encounter build errors in this file, go to the Project Designer
' (go to Project Properties or double-click the My Project node in
' Solution Explorer), and make changes on the Application tab.
Partial Friend Class MyApplication
<Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()> _
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New(Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationMode.Windows)
Me.IsSingleInstance = false
Me.EnableVisualStyles = true
Me.SaveMySettingsOnExit = true
Me.ShutDownStyle = Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.ShutdownMode.AfterMainFormCloses
End Sub
<Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()> _
Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateMainForm()
Me.MainForm = Global.MockedMasterDetailsRelationship.StoneForm
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
So you can see C# and VB.NET only create the main form unlike Delphi
