Thank you. I tried it and it closed but never took it out of memory when the program was completely closed down. I always still had to do the same thing: ctrl alt delete. This is in both forms becuse VS put it there: protected override void Dispose( bool disposing ) { if( disposing ) { if(components != null) { components.Dispose(); } } base.Dispose( disposing ); } I tried removing it but that did not fix the problem either.

Very frustrated!! Here is what I have got: //form1: static void Main() { Form3 frm3=new Form3(); frm3.Show(); Application.Run(); } private void Form1_Closed(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Application.Exit(); } //form3: private void YES_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { YES.Enabled=false; Form1 frm1 = new Form1(); frm1.Show(); this.Close(); } It never clears out of memory!!! Please help!

But the problem is that I do not want the first window to stay in the tray (it is the one with Main() in it. So maybe I can't close it) when I show and run the second window. I know what might fix it!!!! I will just put Main in the other form!!!!!!!! I'll post back.

When I use this.Close(); it does the same thing as closing the whole application. private void YES_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { YES.Enabled=false; Form1 frm1 = new Form1(); frm1.Show(); this.Close(); } I also tried creating a Form3 object in Form1 but the frm3.Close(); did nothing at all. I think the forms are connected too tightly somehow because when I close Form3 where main is I close both. ShowDialog(); works but it does not close the Form3 until Form1 is closed. Is there any way around that, so that I can immediately close Form3?

You forgot the () I think, and with them it works. Also, It ends as soon as it opens when I have Application.Exit(); there. How can I close the Form3 only? And, what is the difference between Show and ShowDialog?

Running a a form from a form I have 2 classes: public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form public class Form3 : System.Windows.Forms.Form -------------------------------------------- Main() starts Form3 (simple yes, no label): static void Main() { Application.Run(new Form3()); } -------------------------------------------- For the YES button I have the other form I want to run and close the Form3. private void YES_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Application.Run(new Form1); Application.Exit(); } -------------------------------------------- When I run this and press YES an error box pops up that says: An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll Additional information: It is invalid to start a second message loop on a single thread. Use Application.RunDialog or Form.ShowDialog instead. -------------------------------------------- When I try to use Form.ShowDialog it won't compile and says it needs an object. When I try to use Application.RunDialog it says it is unaccessable due to its protection level. What should I do?
