Question

I am working on a c# winform application and i have a button that on click a dialog asking for password appears. If the password is correct then the code under the button is executed. Here is the code on the main form.

    password pass = new password();
       pass.ShowDialog();
      if (pass.DialogResult == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            if (pass.Password == "12")
            {

And below is the code that i have on the OK button in the password form

      private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        button1.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
    }

The problem is that the OK button of the password form has to be clicked twice and is working. Any ideas why ?

From the Button.DialogResult documentation I see that the property defines what DialogResult to return to the Form when the button is clicked. This means you should have the code line button1.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK; in the constructor, or simply set it in the designer, instead of on the click-event.
