Hi!
Try this way: add a constructor in the Form1 class that accepts as argument a reference to a Form class. Next, in the Load event of Form1, you call the Close and the Dipose method of the Form instance that was passed to the constructor. An example:
public partial class Form1: Form
{
Form1 frm = null;
public Form1(Form form)
{
frm = form;
}
public void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//NOTE: you must register the Load event!
frm.Close();
frm.Dispose();
}
}
Bye.

This means that whenever you close form passed to Application.Run() method, all application would be terminated. You can use third form to manage other forms, and close it only when all other forms are closed. Something like this:
-------------------------------------------------------
static class Program{
/// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary>[
STAThread] static void Main(){
Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new FormMgr());}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------
public partial class FormMgr : Form{
private Form _currentForm; private static FormMgr _formMgr; public FormMgr(){
_formMgr =
this; this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; this.ShowInTaskbar = false;InitializeComponent();
}
public static FormMgr Mgr{
get { return _formMgr; }}
public void ShowForm(Form form){
if (_currentForm != null){
Form currentForm = _currentForm;_currentForm =
null;currentForm.Close();
}
_currentForm = form;
_currentForm.FormClosed +=
new FormClosedEventHandler(_currentForm_FormClosed);_currentForm.Show();
}
void _currentForm_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e){
if (sender == _currentForm){
this.Close();}
}
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e){
base.OnLoad(e);ShowForm(
new Form1());}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------
public partial class Form1 : Form{
public Form1(){
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
FormMgr.Mgr.ShowForm(new Form2());}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
public partial class Form2 : Form{
public Form2(){
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
FormMgr.Mgr.ShowForm(new Form1());}
}
