But why would you pass a TextBox between processes (which I believe is what you intend to do)? Just to read its text? Then it's the text you should pass, not the control (actually, control copy or possibly handle) itself

I've added my solution where I tried to explain the general view of the problem and credited your post. Please see.

Unfortunately, OP looks too confused to feel right approaches to development; I would recommend to get more experience participating in real-life projects.

Hi,

This is called Serialization. Look at the article below to have more informations :
it convert an object to a file, then the second process could read this file deserialize.
You can even send this file through the network by a socket and deserialize it on the other side of the wire :).

Object Serialization using C#[^]

Best regards.

I wanna pass class object across exe...it means I have two exe winform then I wanna pass class object in exe1 to exe2 in a local computer...what is the solution...? could you give me the example Project? thx for ur attention

This is done by a serialization technique, you save an object into a file on the disk. Then you can do what you want by this file, read it by another process and decrypt its content to transform it into the object (deserialization) or even send it to another host through a socket and deserialize it.

Give a look at the article that I posted, it contains explained technique and a sample project to do this.

But if I have many exe to access this file It can be slow down or not ? I am very worry about it.. Example connection string object I want all exe use only one connection so if I do like that may be the computer will slow down.....

I want to share connection string object to all exe without slowing computer.....
It mean All Exe have only one connection string.....could you please slow the solution ....?

Two different EXEs mean two different processes, and the process memory space are perfectly isolated. Therefore, an attempt to share any components like controls is counter-productive. The exchange, when needed, should be performed at the level of semantic data. Look at the comment to the question by Timberbird, about passing just the value of the Text property — this is a healthy approach. In a more general view, you need to develop a data model in a separate data layer and pass only the data instances.

Generally, integration between processes in not fruitful, to tell the least. Integration should be done at the level of component assemblies (class library) referenced by an entry assembly into a single process.
