Answer 1

my way is declaring a static class which have static variable Form1.

public static class Global
{
    private static Form1 myForm = new Form1();
    public static bool Show()
    {

        myForm.Show();
    }

    public static bool Hide()
    {
        myForm.Close();
    }
}

it's not good way?

Looks like you want your form to be a Singleton, which isn't my favourite pattern, but it beats a global.
