I believe you are trying to close your form. If so then you can use Application.OpenForms property and get the form based on the title like:

var form = Application.OpenForms
                      .Cast<Form>()
                      .FirstOrDefault(r=> r.Text == "YourTitle");
if(form != null)
    form.Close();

You should consider that there could be multiple forms for same title.

I've been downvoted before for answering a horrible question. Perhaps your downvoter did the same? – Simon Whitehead Apr 05 '13 at 04:37
@SimonWhitehead, if that is the case then I will be surprised at the [reversal badge](http://stackoverflow.com/badges/95/reversal) in SO :) – Habib Apr 05 '13 at 04:39
