i want to get the values from form1 to another form using C#.
in my form1 some values are name,address,contact and one datagridview ,if the button clicked the same values in the form1 should be saved in form2 .
here is my form2 code.

 cInvoice oInvoice=null;
 private frmWalkInCustomer oWalkInCustomer = new frmWalkInCustomer () ;
        
        private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            oInvoice = new cInvoice();

            oInvoice.ChairNo = oWalkInCustomer.cboChairNo.Text;
            oInvoice.Date = oWalkInCustomer.dtpDate.Value.Date;
            oInvoice.Name = oWalkInCustomer.txtName.Text.Trim();
            oInvoice.Address = oWalkInCustomer.txtAddress.Text.Trim();
            oInvoice.City = oWalkInCustomer.cboCity.Text.Trim();
            oInvoice.State = oWalkInCustomer.cboState.Text.Trim();
            oInvoice.MobileNo = oWalkInCustomer.txtCell.Text.Trim();
            oInvoice.Amount = Convert.ToDecimal(txtAmount.Text.Trim());
            oInvoice.TotDis = Convert.ToDecimal(lblDiscountRate.Text);
            oInvoice.Total = Convert.ToDecimal(txtTotal.Text);
            oInvoice.TotalAmount = Convert.ToDecimal(txtTotAmt.Text);
            oInvoice.PayMode = cboPaymentMode.Text.Trim();

I haven't done this in a while but try writing this in form 2.

form1.name_of_variable_you_want;

You could expose a property on Form2.cs that accepts whatever object you want, then in Form1 when you invoke that Form2, give it that object that's already filled with information.

Then in Form2's constructor you can use that object to prefill whatever you'd like.

Without more information this is the best I can do.

Check out this tutorial by on passing values between forms.

As Sergio metnioned using properties would do the trick.

Form 1

int a;
Form newFrm = new Form();
newFrm._inA = _OutA
int _outA
{
   get { return a; }
}
newFrm.Show();
This.Dispose(false);

Form 2

int b;
int _inA
{
   Set { b = value };
}

int b on form 2 is now equals int a from form 1. If i'm wrong here (somewhat new to properties) somebody please correct me :]

I'd change the code to be more readable (even I had trouble reading it). This is using the constructor but you could change it to use a property no sweat. I'm assuming int a is a REQUIRED variable, that's why I used the constructor.

int a = 10;
Form2 theOtherForm = new Form2(a);
theOtherForm.Show();


//This code is the constructor for Form2:
int otherA;

public Form2(int a)
{
    otherA = a;
}

Does nobody search or even glance through the previous questions on here?
We must get this same question 3 times a week.

In this one from yesterday, the OP is told they need to raise an event in one form, and subscribe to it in the other form.
Sure there are ways of exposing the GUI elements or properties and directly changing them, but that tightly binds the forms together and subverts the idea of black-box coding where different classes aren't supposed to know that much about each other.

Please see this thread, rather than make everyone explain it all over again.
