Comment on C#: Form.Close() vs Form.Dispose() by Quadko

Quadko — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 20:32:10 +0000

if I understand that last problem posted by xpin, I think the issue isn’t MSDN or a bug, exactly, but that the form was never shown in the first place.

That Handle==0 issue is a common bug resulting from delayed acquiring of a window handle from the OS. If you don’t show the Form, the handle is never created – same state as after Dispose when it is released. That code to reference form.Handle is the common workaround to force the handle to be created. This isn’t really related to Close() verses Dispose(), just is related to Forms.

And btw, form.Close() balances form.Show(), the way file.Close() balances file.Open().
