You should avoid making the whole control public. In most cases it is more usefull to access a single property.

Solution 2

You need to add a method (or a property) to the form that you want to access. You can then access these method/property from the first form. Don't use public controls - this is not the best solution.

Hiya,

In form 2 create a property for your label:

E.g.
press: <ctrl><space>
go to: prop
press: <tab> twice
This will create a property:

E.g.

C#

// Property for Label1
public string MyLabel1
{
  get { return label1.Text; }
  set { label1.Text = value; }
}

You can access and set this property from form1 as follows:

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Form2 Form2 = new Form2();
  Form2.MyLabel1 = textBox1.Text;
  Form2.Show();
}

Hope this helps! ;-)
