How to access a class instance from different forms

[vitruvius]

Hello,

I have a class:

class Class1
    {
        private string _name;

        public string Name
        {
            get { return _name; }
            set { _name = value; }
        }

        private string _lastName;

        public string LastName
        {
            get { return _lastName; }
            set { _lastName = value; }
        }
    }

And I set those variables in Form1:

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        Class1 myClass = new Class1();

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            myClass.Name = "John";
            myClass.LastName = "Doe";

            Form2 myForm2 = new Form2();
            myForm2.ShowDialog();
        }
    }

So I want to access this class instance from Form2 and Form3 which is created in Form2. How can I do that?

I tried something like:

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        Class1 myClass = new Class1();

        public Class1 sendClass
        {
            get
            {
                return myClass;
            }
        }
        .
        .
        .

But I couldn't access it from Form2 and Form3.

Thanks.

You can create a second constructor for the Form2 class. Pass Class1 as a parameter into your new constructor.
