Hide MainForm when LoginForm is called?
0
I have 2 forms, 1 Login form and the other is the Main Application Form.
The Main Form launches Login Form since auth = false, the issue is though since I am calling the login from the main application how do I then hide the main form when the login form is shown and then display the mainform once the user is authenticated?
This is my Main App call:

Creating login forms is a very traditional newbie-to-winforms mistake. Such an app always runs in a session where the user already logged-in using the highly secure Windows login procedure. One that's battle-hardened by being attacked every conceivable way. You are not talking to a complete stranger on the Internet. Putting your own login procedure on top of that is a very significant security risk, users will simply re-use their Windows logon password and the odds that you treat them just as securely as Windows does are very slim. Don't do it.

In MainForm:
LoginForm authForm = new LoginForm();
var result = authForm.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
// authentication was successful
}
In LoginForm: Set authentication result ok (if if was successful)
DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;

I think the best way is run login form and main form both from Program.cs file.
You can change Program.cs file like this:
namespace YorNameSpace
{
public static class Program
{
public static DialogResult result;
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
using (var loginForm = new loading())
result=loginForm.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
// login was successful
Application.Run(new Main());
}
}
}
}

Creating login forms is a very traditional newbie-to-winforms mistake. Such an app always runs in a session where the user already logged-in using the highly secure Windows login procedure. One that's battle-hardened by being attacked every conceivable way. You are not talking to a complete stranger on the Internet. Putting your own login procedure on top of that is a very significant security risk, users will simply re-use their Windows logon password and the odds that you treat them just as securely as Windows does are very slim. Don't do it.
