showdialog login form - login fail, close the app

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a simple MDIChild login form that loads before the parent, and if the
user hit's the cancel button on the login form, the whole app should unload.
How can I do this? Thanks

Code the cancel button to set your form's DialogResult to
DialogResult.Ca ncel before closing itself. In the calling routine, bail
if the user cancelled.

Got time for one more? How can I set a property on the mdiParent form from
the Child form?
thanks.

Pass the parent as a paramter when you create the child.

MyChild newChild = new MyChild(this);

And add or change the constructor on the child class to accept a parent
parameter

private Parent parent;

public MyChild(Parent parent)
{
this.parent = parent;
}

then call parent.Property when you need it

Sorry, I keep getting the below error on these lines:

private Parent parent;
public MyChild(Parent parent)

'System.Windows .Forms.Control. Parent' denotes a 'property' where a 'class'
was expected

thanks.
