closing first form instead of hiding after showing second form in c# windows application

13y6kWindows Forms

This is my Main Form (test) code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

test1 test1 = new test1();

test1._valueOfForm1 = textBox1.Text;

test1._valueOfForm2 = textBox2.Text;

test1._valueOfForm3 = textBox3.Text;

//this.Close();

//test1.Show();

}

and

This is my Second Form(test1) code:

public partial class test1 : Form

{

public string _valueOfForm1 = "";

public string _valueOfForm2 = "";

public string _valueOfForm3 = "";

public test1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void test1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

textBox1.Text = _valueOfForm1;

textBox2.Text = _valueOfForm2;

textBox3.Text = _valueOfForm3;

}

i am passing data of three textboxes from test to test1 and my need is to close the first form(NOT TO HIDE) and show data in second,all working properly

just want to close firest form(test) after showing test1

Thanks.

Is your test form opened from some other form? or Is this your main form (And only available form) of your C# Windows Application.

In the first case this.Close() should work.
In the second case, use Application.Exit() because you can not close the application window

If (as the name suggests) your Main form is your start-up form, then you can't close it without causing the message loop, and hence the whole application, from closing.

Why is just hiding it a problem?
