Solution 1

Create a property on the second form e set this property from the first form, then you show the second form.

Form2:

C#

public string Information
{get; set;}

Form1:

C#

Form2 f = new Form2();
f.Information = "bla bla bla"
f.Show();

This is a popular question of form collaboration. The most robust way is to implement appropriate interface in form class. Please see my past answer to this question: How to copy all the items between listboxes in two forms[^]; see other suggestions and the discussion.

Solution 4

the best way is to create a global class and retrieve information from the database and store it in that class, and when any form needs that data it reads it from the global class

As the question turned out to be very popular, and my previous answers often were not well understood, probably were not clear enough, I decided to write a Tips/Trick article complete with detailed code samples and explanations: Many Questions Answered at Once — Collaboration between Windows Forms or WPF Windows.

Sorry ,I don't understand why are you posting the same solution for many questions?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 23-Mar-15 2:42am

Not the same. And why not? It's done to help many beginners. I found that my usual answer to this very popular question is not very well understood and am trying to fix the situation. What could be unclear here?

Sir,But its a 4 year old question, you restarted the old thread in QA. When i was starter i answered very old questions ,so my post was marked as spam and got downvotes but the solution was right and one of your experts told me that if you restart the old thread it consider as spam.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 23-Mar-15 3:09am

I have no idea about it. To best of my knowledge, there is no such concept as "restart of the thread". Maybe, this is the fantasy of that expert or expresses her/his own opinion. Who told you that?

Use you own logic: do you think that issues can have expiration time? The platforms I wrote about did not went out of support, the issue is actual. If someone wrote ugly code 4 years ago, won't it be helpful to know that it still can be fixed? This is exactly why I decided to write this article, to improve my past answers and provide better help.

I also got several down-votes on the answers like this one. As the reputation points of the person who did that are the same in all cases, it looks like this is the activity of some maniac obsessed with the similar idea about "old threads" or "boosting reputation points", envy and counter-productive. Why paying so much attention for that. When someone reported your post for spam on such ground, you could ask a question about such things at Bugs and Suggestions or maybe Spam and Abuse Watch forum...

Yes, massive down-votes can be done if someone is cheating, regularly posting misleading information of non-answers, fake answers (such as most self-answers) or articles; and plagiarism and spamming should lead to cancellation of the account. But counting who answered what questions, in how many posts, in case of valuable answers, is just misery.

I don't remember the name ,let me check my post and let you know. You know that nobody downvoted your solution because you have high reputation points but any body answered with low reputation points definitely will get downvotes by one of ours.I don't know why? does everyone common here or not?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 23-Mar-15 3:29am

No need to expose a particular name. If you want, you can report this person at "Spam and Abuse Watch". In case you are wrong (by whatever reason), people won't report on that person, so you hardly can do much harm, but if this is a real abuse, the person will get abuse reports. In my case, it is the person with the same reputation points low but not the lowers (subtracts -4 on down-votes).

I receive many down-votes on regular bases, but this is very low impact compared to up-voted. Does it even worth discussions? It's insignificant enough to ignore it.

Solution 2

There are two ways to do so :
1. Use the constructor to take the value as input
2. Use the property

Check out :

Hope this helps.
All the best.
