How to close form 1 ?

Question

I have a program that has multiple forms. I want one form to open another, so I use the .show command. Now I want it to close the first form when it opens the second form. I have tried this.close(); but it closes both forms ... Or is there a way to switch which form loads first ?

This will work fine for u button_click (or) some control { this.visible=false; // first set the visibility of form1 to false form2 f2=new form2(); f2.showdialog(); // don't use f2.show(); this.close(); } when u open the form2 the form1 goes invisible and when u closes the form2 both form2 and form 1 will be closed .

Whenever you close your initial (primary) form the whole application will close. As a workaround you could hide it instead of closing it. form1.Hide if I'm not mistaken.
