Probably you are using ShowDialog method.Use Show method instead when you open your second form. ShowDialog waits until you close your Form and your program doesn't go to the next line.You can take a look at these question for more details:

• What's the difference between Show(), ShowDialog() and Application.Run() functions?
• why does form.showdialog() works and form.show() doesn't in the following code
