Hello,

-As said above- If I were you I would use formClosed event like

---------Parent form side-------------

private void btnOpenForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Form2 frm2 = new Form2();

frm2.FormClosed += new FormClosedEventHandler(frm2_FormClosed);

frm2.Show();

}

private void frm2_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)

{

this.Close();

}

----------Child form side-----------

private void btnCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

this.Close();

}

Kind regards..
