What’s the difference between Show(), ShowDialog() and Application.Run() functions? [duplicate]

by

The Show function shows the form in a non modal form. This means that you can click on the parent form.

ShowDialog shows the form modally, meaning you cannot go to the parent form

Application.Run() runs the main parent form, and makes that form the main form. Application.Run() is usually found in main.
