Winforms在关闭窗口时调用Base.Dispose（）的InvalidOperationException

Question

Hello im pretty new to c# just downloaded VS2012 and created my new Application, but im getting a really strange Exception, I guess its my fault but again im really new to this

the exception occours when closing form2 that form1 created. this only occurs when an object its placed on form2.

I just got 2 forms with a button on each, button on form1 calls form2, when form2 is closed I show again form1, after a few seconds it throws InvalidOperationException on line base.Dispose

here is the code that trhows the exception

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing); // here is the exceptjion
        }

Here is form1

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var frm = new Form2(this);
            frm.Show(this);
            this.Hide();
        }
    }

Here is form2

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    private Form frm;

    public Form2(Form frm) : this()
    {
        this.frm = frm;
    }

    public Form2()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form2_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
        frm.Show();
        this.Close();
    }
}

Here is the stacktrace

Answer 1

Cancel it and hide it.. like so:

private void Form2_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) {
    e.Cancel = true;
    this.Hide();
    frm.Show();
}

Answer 2

If you just simply program with 2 forms, then calling one from the other's button can be done also simply like

    //On form1
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Form2 f2 = new Form2();
        f2.Show();
    }

And no more, you can close the second form whenever you want without any error (I tested this on vs12). It will create a new instance of the Form2 with each button click. So it becomes a bit trickier if you only want one and the same instance of form2 displayed with each click.
