It is actually quite simple. On your Program.cs Main static method use the following code to launch your LoginForm.

var myLoginForm = new LoginForm();
myLoginForm.Show();
Application.Run();

Then from your LoginForm, simply remember to launch your next Form before closing it like this:

var myNextForm = new NextForm();
myNextForm .Show();

this.Close();

If you rather just want to close the application after login fails just do the following:

this.close();
Application.Exit();

Hope it helps!
