Passing Value From One Form to another!

[Frank100]

Hi,
I am trying to pass value from one windows form to another in desktop application using C#.
I have created two text boxes on Form1 and a button, on button click I am creating Form2 and From2 contains one button, on this button click I have to pass value from Form2 to Form1 textboxes.

I have created Properties in Form1.

public string Emp
        {
            get
            {
                return strEmp;
            }
            set
            {
                strEmp = value;                
            }
        }

        public string EmpID
        {
            get
            {
                return strEmpID;
            }
            set
            {
                strEmpID = value;
            }
        }

And on Form1 button click:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 fr = new Form2();
            fr.ShowDialog();

            this.textBox1.Text = strName;
            this.textBox2.Text = strID;            
        }

On Form2:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form1 fr = new Form1();
fr. Emp = "Alex";
            fr. EmpID = "1121";
            this.Close();            
        }

This code is not working, Please let me know where I am wrong.

Thanks,

In form2, you are creating a new instance of form1. That's not the same form that opened form2.

If you want to use properties, move the properties from form1 to 2.
Then

//form2
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  this.Emp = "Alex";
  this.EmpID = "1121";
  this.Close(); 
}

//form1
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Form2 fr = new Form2();
  fr.ShowDialog();

  this.textBox1.Text = fr.Emp;
  this.textBox2.Text = fr.EmpID; 
}
