Closing and recreating a form
-
I noticed the Thread.Sleep after the this.Close(), but as I could not even start to imagine what was, or was supposed to happen. I therefore very deliberately refrained from mentioning it. Now you have gone and stirred the whole thing up again! :)

Yeah, that's me. Always fighting against those silly
Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);statements which waste an entire stack without achieving anything. Sorry for being a tad more radical; "Try commenting it out and see if everything still works..." is not really my style. ;PLuc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles]

Because I don't want to keep an extra copy of that form at the back and I need another copy of it.
Why?? If your code is written correctly, you shouldn't have to do this at all. The code should just fall back to waiting for a suported game to launch.

I know that that command should not be there but it was a temporary solution and it was working in a way. This shows that this.Close(); doesn't work. I still couldn't figure out why, if it could then there would be no problem.

Hi I have a Windows form called mainwindow in my project. After it completes what it does, it closes and then recreates itself. But as I have noticed lately it recreates but doesnt't close itself. Here is my code:
private void RestartAll()
{
// These are not that important, only to transfer the same properties of the form to the new form.
depo.multipleformlocation=this.Location;
depo.multipleform = true;
depo.ekrangoruntusuadedi = 0;this.Hide();
mainwindow _mainwindow = new mainwindow();
_mainwindow.ShowDialog();this.Close();
// Here is my temporary solution (putting old form's thread to sleep infinitely because it shouldn't keep doing what it does)
Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
}How can I close(destroy) the old form completely and recreate that form? When I don't completely close that old form, because I do this closing and recreating process more than once my App's memory usage gets much higher. Thanks in advance.
It doesn't close because the
ShowDialogmethod blocks the current thread. It means that the rest of theRestartAllmethod body is executed after a fresh copy of your mainwindow is closed. Switch toShow()instead. I think that you can also movethis.Closeabove_mainwindow.Show().Greetings - Jacek Gajek

If I do it that way, then no new mainwindow appears.
