C# opening/closing forms

[Psynic]

Hey guys im making a basic notepad right now with beginner knowledge and right now i am using the file menu on my form to open an "About" form now i have it opening up and displaying properly using this code

        public void aboutNotepadToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 Form2 = new Form2();
            Form2.Show();
            
        }

but the problem i am having is with my code to close the form right now i am trying this code for the close button on my second form.

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            Form2 Form2 = new Form2();
            Form2.Close();
        }

this doesn't give me any errors. form2 simply does not close. i tried with just Form2.Close(); for my close button but it gives me an error before running.

i figure it has something to do with me creating a new instance of form2 right before i close. i just cant figure out any other way to put the code so i don't get an error.

Any Help would be appreciated, i think this is a pretty easy one anyway.

All you have to do is change

Form2.Close();

to

this.Close();

And it will close the form.
