Closing specific form using a method in C#
c#, forms, methods
Solution
You are passing type of the form i.e. `myForm` you need to pass object of type, you can pass `this`
public partial class myForm : Form
{
close_form(this);
}
Here `myForm` is new type that inherits from `Form` type and is not instance of your current form. The keyword `this` represents the current instance of class you can pass that to `close_form` you can read more about this here.
There is no reason for closing form by calling a function if function just have only one statement to close the form unless you are doing this for learning or you could have some reason for closing forms through function like logging some information like closing form name and time etc. You simple call `this.Close` instead of calling `close_form` and passing current form to it.
Problem
Hi I have some forms in my project and I want to do a method that closed one of them. The method is: ``` public static void close_form (Form frm) { frm.Close(); } ``` And I use it this way: ``` public partial class myForm : Form { close_form(myForm); } ``` but when I want to run the application I get error: `myForm` is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable' What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to `close` the form without using `this.close()`?
