Second grid of form must be active. How can you active two form at a time?

No, it does not matter. Active form is only needed to accept user input.

Sorry, I didn't like the article at all. Not a nice coding style; methods are listed without explaining pro/contra. Important and best method is missing: interfaces.

However, the topic itself is miserable, so you would not expect anything great anyway. MVC, MVP, MVVM does not have such problems; and even minimal applications can be organized the way that forms do not know each other but work with more abstract conceptual entities.

Declare a global public variable in form 2.

C#

public String abc;

In form one cell click event set gbloabl variable value and set it grid value of second form.

C#

private void dataGridView1_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 form2 = new Form2();
            form2.abc = "GridCellValue";
            //set abc value to grid
            form2.Show();

        }

Thanks,
