Hey,

I've been having a problem with forms lately.

First of is there any other way of calling upon a form, apart from

Form1 Lawl = new Form1();
Lawl.Show()

Cause that launches a new form, which i dont want, is there a work around on this?

The other thing would be editing objects on other forms.

In vb.net you could easily just

Form1.TextBox1.Text = "Lawl"

How do you do this in C#?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The way you call a form is not the only way to actually call it. You can show a modal form (dialog):

Form1.ShowDialog();

In C#, to access control properties of the controls that are on another form, you have to change the scope of the control. By default it is Private. You will have to change it to Protected Internal or anything else suitable for your application. But this won't be enough. You will either have to create a property that will return a specific value to a control property (this is the recommended way) or make the form that contains the control you want to modify the owner of the form that will modify the control.

What are you trying to do?

With regard to passing data between forms have a look at this CodeProject article: Passing Values between Forms
