FormClosing Event

Hi Every body
I have a form and i don't want to let the user close it by ALT+F4 or Click on the close button.
I know i should handle FormClosing event but how?
When i use FormClosingEventArgs and write this code :
if ( e.CloseReason = CloseReason.UserClosing )
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
I can't close it by calling the close Method.
I just wanna close the form by writing codes and not allow the users to close it manually.
like SplashScreen forms or something like that.Oh by the way is there any article about creating splashScreen forms in C#?

thank you.

Unfortunately, the CloseReason enum doesn't distinguish between the user closing the form and your code closing the form. A bit of oversight I'd say but there is probably a Windows restriction that forces that. The workaround is pretty straight-forward:

private bool mItsMeClosingIt;
...
public sub CloseForm() {
mItsMeClosingIt = true;
this.Close();
}
...
if (e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing) e.Cancel = !mItsMeClosingIt;

if ( e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing )

Sorry it was a writing mistake!!
I've written it exactly like this i know it should work but when i call the close method it doesn't work!! No exception no Error nothing .
