Working with multiple forms

[dannytan]

hi all. I wanted to design a simple student registration system. in my design, i have 2 forms. Form1 consist of a ListView control displaying all the student information. Also, inside Form1 there is a button to Add new student. When a user presses the Add button, a new form will pops up which is the Form2. Inside form2 there are a lots of text boxes for users to input data. I would like to know how in Form1 that I could retrieve the data entered by the user in Form2. Thanks

make all member variables of Form2 as public that u want to access.

and you can access as object members.

Hi!
You can also make your TextBox public and use it in Form1. See attachment.

that's what I said in my early post. that's for the sample though. I am bit lazy these days

Hi!
I think it is pretty good to be little busy. I just finished some project for client and now I have not any task.

so you can answer here some of the post and do some research

Thanks for the code sample! I was entering
"Form Form2 = new Form2();" not
"Form2 Form2 = new Form2();"

I couldn't figure out why none of my Form2 methods or variables were showing up! It wasn't an access level problem, it was that I was instantiating a generic Form and not my specific Form2!

Just when I think I understand this stuff I make another newbie mistake that takes hours to figure out.

Thank you for your help!
