UNLOAD forms.

[dynamic_sysop]

there is some code posted in the vb.net codebank which i put there a while back showing how to unload all your Forms in .net, the basics of it are like this .....

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Integer
Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32.dll" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As Integer) As Integer
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim objType As Type() = Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetTypes()
        Dim x As Integer, i As Integer
        Try
            For x = LBound(objType) To UBound(objType)
                If Not objType(x).Name = Me.Name Then '/// make sure you dont unload this form yet.
                    i = FindWindow(vbNullString, objType(x).Name)
                    If Not i = 0 Then
                        PostMessage(i, CInt(&H10), vbNullString, vbNullString)
                    End If
                End If
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Oops, the following error occured:" & ex.Message)
        Finally
            MyBase.Close() '/// now that all the other forms are closed , unload this one.
        End Try
    End Sub
