I just have to execute a few validations if the user clicks on the close button and that's it, but here's what I noticed.

I want my form to function like when you are using the Form designer for example, If you change anything and click on the close button, a Dialog asks if you want to Save the Changes you made, but if you didn't, nothing happens and the Form designer closes.

If I remember correctly, you have to intercept event Form.QueryUnload().

This will be invoked whether you close your form from a button (Button.Click() = ThisForm.Release()), or from the "x", or with Ctrl-F4.

If you decide you can't close the form (e.g., user is asked about pending changes, and answers pressing the "Cancel" button), put NODEFAULT into this method.
