MDI Problem

I have C# MDI application.
In the Load event of the main form I display another widows form, form1 and
set the MdiParent to the main form.
I have a button on the child form which I click and open form2 and close
form1.

Now when I close form2 I want to come back to from1. Can some please tell me
how this be done in a MDI application.

Thanks,
-Asfar

Asfar,

do you show form2 only or do you dispose of form1?

Don't. Just show the Form2 with the same MdiParent. It'll show up on
top of form1
