If the login windows is the default Form of your application then you should hide it. Because if you close it it'll close the application.

Here's an example:

if (userName_login_window.Equals("1") && pass_login_window.Equals("2"))
{
             
MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
window.ShowDialog();//Brings up the main window
[B]this.Hide();[/B]
                                    
}

Thanks for the advice but its still not working.
I was wondering if i can put the code in the main window to hide the login form when its triggered.

if (userName_login_window.Equals("1") && pass_login_window.Equals("2"))

{
             
MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
window.ShowDialog();//Brings up the main window
this.Hide();// The same problem exist. 
                                    
}

Oh sorry! I didn't notice you are using ShowDialog(). Code added after ShowDialog() is executed after the form is closed.

To make it work just put the this.Hide(); line before ShowDialog() and it'll work:

if (userName_login_window.Equals("1") && pass_login_window.Equals("2"))
{            
MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
[B]this.Hide();[/B]
window.ShowDialog();                                   
}

Thanks
