If you exit the first form, the second one will go out of scope and be closed too.
Try re-thinking the structure of your program.
Or consider just hiding (and then later showing if need be) the first form

Try something like this.
private void CloseAndOpen(Fo rm currentForm, Form openForm)

{



openForm.Show() ;

currentForm.Hid e();

}





private void linkLabel1_Link Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

CloseAndOpen(th is, new Form3());

}

Hi, I'm trying to have a MSN Messenger like form/app closing behavior. When I click on the X button, I only want the form to disappear and when I double-click on the notify icon or right-click on it and choose Open from the context menu, I want the form to reappear. For that, I got the point covered. Even when the form is minimize, the behavior is like MSN Messenger. But one problem arose. When I close the form (the first time), it...

Hi. I have an MDI Parent form with multiple child windows. When I close the parent form, the Closing events of the children forms are not executing. Do I have to close all the child forms in the parent's closing event in order to get the closing events of the children forms to execute? Thanks. -Barry

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...

I'm writing an application with various MDI child forms. In the Closing event of many of the forms, I have code that asks the user whether he is sure he wants to close the form, because it contains unsaved data. If the user clicks "No" then the code sets e.Cancel = True, which cancels the closure. This works just great. But when the user closes the MDI parent form, the cancellation seems to be completely ignored. The MessageBox...

How is the best way to avoid validation when closing a window? For instance, I have a Windows Forms window which has a validation event for a text box. However, if one enters invalid data in then and then attempts to close the window (either via my custom 'Close' box or by clicking the close 'X' in the upper right window corner), the validation event still triggers and it tells the user that they have invalid data. Which of course means...

Does it make sense to put this If e.Cancel Then Exit Sub at the beginning of form closing events so if the user cancels the app's exiting in one Closing routine he will not be asked again by another when its form Closing routine is run? I guess what I'm asking is will that work. If one form sets e.cancelled to true will e.cancel be true when the next form receives a closing event?

Hi, I'm using VS2005 and .net 2.0. I'm creating an application that has 3 forms. I want allow users to move forward and backward with the forms and retain the data users have entered. I thought I'll make the inactive forms invisible but this is creating a memory corruption problem when user close the form2 or form3 and not the formMain. My main form has a Next button which makes the main form invisible and starts a new form which I'll...

Hello, I am confused by dispose etc. and hope someone can set me right. 1. The Dispose(Bool) the IDE generates for a form has nothing to do with IDisposable, right? 2. So when is this called? When a form is closed? If this is caused automatically when a form is closed how can I then access things on a modal from after ShowDialog() returns? Or is it only for modeless forms?

I am (still) relatively new to Windows applications, most of my experience has been Web based, and I am confused about what exactly happens when the Main() method is called and how to manipulate forms opening & closing. An example of this issue is as follows. I have a logon form open as the first thing. The main functional form opens when a user has successfully logged on. From the main form, a user should be able to logout which will...
