Main Window

Question

Book says that:
CREATING A Form THAT Is A PROGRAM'S MAIN WINDOW
You can instantiate a Form within an application and use the ShowDialog() method to display it, as in the program in Figure 9-15. Alternatively, you can create a child class
from Form that becomes the main window of an application. When you create a new
main window , you mu st complete two steps:
•You must derive a new custom class from the base class System.Windows.Forms.Form.
•You must write a Main() method that calls the Application. Run() method, and you must pass an instance of your newly created Form class as an argument. This activity starts the program and makes the form visible.
Why is it called Main Window? Problem is highlighted.

Answer

Thank you for your explanation.

It's called the 'main window' of a windows forms application because it's the first form which is displayed when the application starts.
If you have multiple forms open, then closing the main form closes not only that form but the whole application.
