Position form where the last form used was positioned

Let's say I have 2 movable forms and when I click a button in one form (the fist one which has it's start position CenterScreen) it brings me to another one (but the second one has still centerscreen start position) and let's say I move the first form before I press the button and when I click the button I want to position the new form where I moved my first form... how can I do this?

you can relate position with position of parent form...

//if "this" is Form1, in the button event to call Form2... ... Form2.Position = this.Position; Form2.ShowDialog(this);

Code for the Form1

            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 frm2=new Form2();
            frm2.setLocation(this.Top,this.Left);

Remember the position of a form after it's moved and re-use it later.

private static Point location = null;

private void MyForm_Move(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   location = this.Location;
}

private void MyForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (location != null) {  this.Location = location; }
}
