   Hi there. i am new to C# programming. I am developing an updater that would update our product. I want to program the close button so if clicked the application should not close but rather hide. I have a notification icon from where the user can call it back. I want it just like in msn messenger.

  Salam Umair Habib Peracha,

  => When you want to hide your Form, use :

  this.Hide();

  for example, in a form's button event. Then when you want to show that again, use :

  this.Show();

  for example, in double click event of your notify icon.

  - 'this' in above codes, is reference to your Form.

   Thanks alot bro. But i have figured it out. I wanted to hide form when the user presses the close button. and close the application by right clicking on notification icon. just like the MSN Messenger. Any ways I have found out a way.

  this is the code snippet:

  on form_closing event

  e.cancel;

  this.hide;
