closing forms

[steve_rm]

Hello

I have a project that uses a login form and when the user clicks enter it opens another form called customers.
I have this code in the login form.
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new frmlogin());
}

The problem is when l click enter on the login form to show the customers form. I want to close the login form using this.Close(); but when l do this it exits the entire project.
I have used this.Visible = false; But then l can't exit the entire project as the form is invisible.

I think want l really want to do is allow the user to login then close this form, as it is not needed anymore. When the user has finished with the application, they can click on the exit button on the customers form to exit the entire project.

Any easy way to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Load the login modally from the customer form and use the customer form as the entry point

code

frmMain

static void Main()
      {
         Application.Run(new frmMain());
      }
 
      private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
         frmLogin f=new frmLogin();
         this.AddOwnedForm(f);
         f.ShowDialog();
      }

frmLogin

frmMain f;
      private void frmLogin_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
         f=(frmMain)this.Owner;
      }
 
      private void btnCancel_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
         f.Close();
         this.Close();
      }
 
      private void btnOk_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
         if(txtUsername.Text=="username"&&txtPassword.Text=="password")
            this.Close();
         else MessageBox.Show("Login failed.");
      }
