start-up form

[Peter]

My application start-up form is a login form. Normally, it
will close when user gives right user name and password.
It is easy to be done by calling Form.close in VB6.0,
however, the .NET start-up form has a peculiar feature:
when you close the start-up form, all other forms are
automatically close and the application terminates. How
can I close login form and not terminate the application?
(I tried using Hide() but it is not what I want)

Thank you!

Peter,
In addition to Herfried's response note that your login dialog could be displayed with ShowDialog() - which gives it a message loop, before you make the call to Application.Run for the main form. After all it is a login dialog and you probably want to check the DialogResult of the login dialog before proceeding.
