Closing application from another form

[ahmad.humyn]

I have an application in which the main form goes something like:

public frmMain()
{
frmA frm = new frmA();
frm.show();
this.hide();
}

Now that the control has been passed to frmA, how do I close the
application from frmA

Can anybody help?

You could:
1. Call Application.Exi t()
2. Tell the now-hidden main form to close.

Hi,
Appliaction.Exi t or frmMain.Close will solve it, the first can be called
from anypoint. the second would need to pass a reference to the frm form.

No application.exi t() doesn't work,
Actually the thing that is happening is that the program starts up from
a main.cs file, which calls this frmMain something like this:

Application.Run (new frmMain());

After that frmMain calls this new frmA and hides itself. My problem is
I'm not able to close the application from frmA.
<quote2. Tell the now-hidden main form to close.<end-quoteand how
will I do this, cause I dont know to where the control will be passed
to the frmMain when frmA closes.

Thanks for helping.

Understood what the problem was !
I had a bunch of lines of code below Application.Exi t(), and I was
thinking that the application would exit immediately after coming on
Application.Exi t(). But CLR makes the whole method finish in which
Exit() was called before killing all threads and forms of the app.

Thanks to everybody who helped.
