C# switching between forms calls Form_Load

[Olrik]

I'm having a problem with c# when switching forms. It seems that when i switch from one form to the other they always call Form_load, which I don't want.
Im using form.show() and form.hide() so I don't understand why they are calling form_load.

This is the code:

from form1

private void btnModify_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form mod = new modifyForm();
mod.Show();
this.Hide();
}//end btnModify_Click

from modifyForm:

private void btnCancel_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form toMain = new Form1();
this.Close();
toMain.Show();
}

I'm just hiding and showing Form1 but it calls Form1_Load each time.
Can I get around this? I've tried using form.visible=tr ue and form.visible=fa lse but the result is the same.

I've figured it out.
Here is the answer for anyone that may have the same problem.

this is the new code I'm using:


from Form1:

private void btnModify_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form mod = new modifyForm();
mod.Owner = this;
mod.Show();
this.Hide();
}//end btnModify_Click

from modifyForm:

private void btnCancel_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Owner.Show ();
this.Close();

}

Worked like a charm

Yes, well since you were creating a new isntance of the Form everytime, it was to be expected that the form_load() method would be called each time.
You would probably eventually run out of memory since the one form was only being hidden, and then user used again.
