Closing a form from another form

Question

Hey guys,
I am opening Form2 when a button is clicked on Form1. After the user finishes entering some data in Form2, on clicking a button I want to close both Form2 and Form1. I could close Form2 that was very easy. But I could not close Form1. I tried using 'this.ParentForm.Close();' on the button click event on Form2. But that doesn't work. Any ideas on how to solve this?

you should set Form2.Owner=Form1 first before you call Form2.ParentForm.Close()

When you create a new instance of Form2 before showing it, also pass a reference to Form1. When you're closing, call Form1.Close() (or whatever it was) and then this.Close() (or whatever it was)
