windows form close and open next form

[Sudha Pune]

Hi all

Just i want to close the form1 when i click the button1 on form1 and
the same time i want to load the form2 on the same event.
And i dont want to hide the form1 instead of close. Please post some
piece of coding

For the above i am using c# windows forms

Thanks

Sudha,
The first thing you need to do is open Form2 BEFORE closing Form 1

Just create a new instance and show it:
Frm2 = new Form2()
Frm2.Show();
You can then call Close(), or close form 1 from the Load event of Form 2;

If form1 is your main form (i.e. the form displayed when your application
starts) then closing that form will, by default, close your application. I
believe it is possible to change this behaviour using the ApplicationContext
class, but I don't know the details - maybe someone else can help?

The best way to do this is use MDIParent form and control all sub-forms from
that. Make the sub-forms fill the whole frame area.

form1.Close()
form2 = new Form2()
form2.ControlBox = false;
form2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
form2.Show()
