C#: Form.Close() vs Form.Dispose()

When working with a Windows GUI, it may seem unclear whether to use Form.Close() or Form.Dispose() to get rid of a dialog at runtime.

Form.Close() removes the dialog from sight and calls the Closing() and Closed() methods.  You can still access the form and bring it back later on.

Form.Dispose() destroys the dialog and frees its resources back to the operating system.   _It does not call the form’s Closing() and Closed() methods. _Once disposed, you may not recall a form.

Which to use? If you have no logic in the form’s close methods and don’t intend to re-use the form, go with Dispose().  Otherwise, go with Close().  Some programmers aren’t sure which to use, and they use both - Close() then Dispose()!
