you design two forms ,1] login 2] home

In login form use this code in login button click event

C#

this.Hide();
Home h=new Home();
h.ShowDialog();

In home form write following code in back button click event

C#

this.Close();
Login l=new Login();
l.ShowDialog();

If you want use first form data or keep that data on form then dont hide that form ,just set home form property maximized.

First you need to create a a second form where you can pass the main form as a reference:

public partial class Form2 : Form {
private Form _parentForm;
   public Form2(Form parentForm) {
      InitializeComponent();
      _parentForm = parentForm; // store the parent form for later use
   }
}

then you can create an instance of that form on the first form:

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   var form = new Form2(this);
   form.Show(); // Set it to visible
   form.Activate(); // Bring it to the front
   Hide(); // Make this form invisible
}

And to go "back" to the first form you can do something similiar on the second form.

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   _parentForm.Show(); // Set it to visible
   _parentForm.Activate(); // Bring it to the front
   Dispose(); // Release the form and all of it's resources
}

Hope this help,

in the First form you have write the following code

C#

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

       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
          Form2 ob = new Form2();
          ob.ShowDialog();
      this.Hide();
       }
   }

and the second form write like this.

C#

public partial class Form2 : Form
    {
        public Form2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void back_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           Form1 ob = new Form1();
           ob.ShowDialog();
       this.Hide();
        }
    }

so this is how we navigate from one window form to another.
