Answer 1

Or even easier, you can set DialogResult just after Close. For example, assuming ValidateSettings will show the user any problems with the form or return true otherwise:

    private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (ValidateSettings())
        {
            SaveSettings();
            Close();
            DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
        }
    }
