how to make form disapper not close ( like msn messenger )

Umair P

Hi there. i am new to C# programming. I am developing an updater that would update our product. I want to program the close button so if clicked the application should not close but rather hide. I have a notification icon from where the user can call it back. I want it just like in msn messenger.

ok I got it. In form closing event we should write
if (e.CloseReason != CloseReason.ApplicationExitCall)
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
                this.Hide();
            }

and in the context menu where the acctual exit command is we should write Application.Exit(); and walah
