Probem to hide the first Form1 in VC# 2008

anhtruong52

I have Form1 & Form2 in my VC# 2008 project, in the Form1 I did:
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Hide();
            Form2 frm2 = new Form2();
            frm2.Show();
        }
But when it is executed, the Form1 still existed and covers Form2 in its back, even I try the following in Form2 ... the result is the same:
        private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
            frm1.Hide();
        }

Anyone can help, thanks in-advanced (by the way, I don't want to add a Launch Form2 button in Form1)

try this

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EvenArgs e)
{
    this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
    this.Hide();
    Form2 myForm = new Form2();
    myForm.ShowDialog();
}

It works with automatically returning to the Form1 after closing Form2
Many thanks for help!

Maybe this:

Form 1:

            this.Hide();
            form2 frm2 = new form2(this);
            frm2.ShowDialog();
            frm2.Dispose();

Form2:
//At the top of your code...

public partial class form2 : Form
    {

        private form1 _parent; //Add this

        public form2(form1 form)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            _parent = form;       //add this
        }

Then, if you want to show form1 again you do.

this.Close();
_parent.Show();
