There is an example in the VS Help section that instructs you to create a class to hold the data

Is there an easier and faster way?

public class DataClass
{
	private string myData = "";

	public string MyData
	{
		get { return this.myData; }
		set { this.myData = value; }
	}
}

public class FormA : Form
{
	private DataClass dataClass = null;
	public FormA(DataClass dataClass)
	{
		this.dataClass = dataClass;
	}
}

public class FormB : Form
{
	private DataClass dataClass = null;
	public FormB(DataClass dataClass)
	{
		this.dataClass = dataClass;			
	}
}

public class Main
{
	private DataClass dataClass = new DataClass();
	private FormA forma = null;
	private FormB formb = null;
	
	public Main()
	{
		this.dataClass.MyData = "Hello World";

		this.forma = new FormA(this.dataClass);
		this.formb = new FormB(this.dataClass);
