i have a reset item in my menu_strip. when a user clicks on the reset button it loads form2 ,which acts as a message box by asking " Are you sure you want to clear content?". if the user clicks the "yes" button on this form(message box), the content of textboxes on form1 should be cleared.

Assuming Form1 creates and displays the instance of Form2:

C#

Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.Show();

Or

C#

Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.ShowDialog();

Then the best way is to create an event in Form2 (the "Child") which is handled in Form1 (the "Parent"): Transferring information between two forms, Part 2: Child to Parent[^] shows you how.
