Why not use the DialogResult method to close the form?

if(DialogSettingsCancel.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.Yes)
{
     //this will close the form but will keep application open if your 
     //application type is "console" in the properties of the project
     this.Close();
}

For this to work however you will need to do it inside your "WindowSettings" form while you call the DialogSettingsCancel form. Much the same way you would call the OpenFileDialog, or any other Dialog form.

new WindowSettings      You just closed a brand new instance of the form that wasn t visible in the first place   You need to close the original instance of the form by accepting it as a constructor parameter and storing it in a field

Your closing your instance of the settings window right after you create it  You need to display the settings window first then wait for a dialog result  If it comes back as canceled then close the window  For Example   private void button1 Click object sender  EventArgs e        Settings newSettingsWindow   new Settings         if  newSettingsWindow ShowDialog      DialogResult Cancel                newSettingsWindow Close

for example  if you want to close a windows form when an action is performed there are two methods to do it  1 To close it directly   Form1 f new Form1    f close      u can use below comment also   this close      2 We can also hide form without closing it   private void button1 Click object sender  EventArgs e                Form1 f1   new Form1            Form2 f2   new Form2            int flag   0          string u  p          u   textBox1 Text          p   textBox2 Text          if u   username   amp  amp  p   pasword                         flag   1                    else                     MessageBox Show  enter correct details                      if flag  1                        f2 Show                this Hide

send the WindowSettings as the parameter of the constructor of the DialogSettingsCancel and then on the button1 Click when yes is pressed call the close method of both of them   public class DialogSettingsCancel       WindowSettings parent       public DialogSettingsCancel WindowSettings settings                this parent   settings                     private void button1 Click object sender  EventArgs e                  Code to trigger when the  Yes -button is pressed          this parent Close            this Close

You need the actual instance of the WindowSettings that s open  not a new one   Currently  you are creating a new instance of WindowSettings and calling Close on that  That doesn t do anything because that new instance never has been shown   Instead  when showing DialogSettingsCancel set the current instance of WindowSettings as the parent   Something like this   In WindowSettings   private void showDialogSettings Click object sender  EventArgs e        var dialogSettingsCancel   new DialogSettingsCancel        dialogSettingsCancel OwningWindowSettings   this      dialogSettingsCancel Show        In DialogSettingsCancel   public WindowSettings OwningWindowSettings   get  set     private void button1 Click object sender  EventArgs e        this Close        if OwningWindowSettings    null          OwningWindowSettings Close        This approach takes into account  that a DialogSettingsCancel could potentially be opened without a WindowsSettings as parent   If the two are always connected  you should instead use a constructor parameter   In WindowSettings   private void showDialogSettings Click object sender  EventArgs e        var dialogSettingsCancel   new DialogSettingsCancel this       dialogSettingsCancel Show        In DialogSettingsCancel   WindowSettings  owningWindowSettings   public DialogSettingsCancel WindowSettings owningWindowSettings        if owningWindowSettings    null          throw new ArgumentNullException  owningWindowSettings          owningWindowSettings   owningWindowSettings     private void button1 Click object sender  EventArgs e        this Close         owningWindowSettings Close
