Close a windows form but it still running in the task bar : <p>I am trying to close a winform "Splash Screen" and running another form.</p>

<pre><code>private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        rectangleShape2.Width += 5;
        if (rectangleShape2.Width &gt;= 473)
        {
            timer1.Stop();
            HomeScreen H = new HomeScreen();
            H.ShowDialog();
            //to close current form
            this.Close();
        }
    }
</code></pre>
