In the following I am trying to hide the current form and want to show the CrystalReport through
Form5. It is not happening. What is happening is that both are showing. I could see the
Gridview 'gvUserInfo' (which I want to hide) and CrystalReport through Form5. Ofcourse the
crystal report is behind the Gridview. If I minus the Gridview, I could see the Form5 result.
I dont want the Gridview to be shown from the current form which I want to hide.

gvUserInfo.DataSource = ds11.Tables[0];
gvUserInfo.Visible = true;
this.Visible=false;
Form5 obj1 = new Form5();
obj1.Show();

You can easily use this.Close() or this.Hide() method before creating Form5 object like this.

this.Close(); // Dispose the current form object.
Form5 obj1 = new Form5();
obj1.Show();

or

this.Hide(); // Do not dispose the current form object.
Form5 obj1 = new Form5();
obj1.Show();
