How to pass values from child form to parent form

[searockruz]

you can pass values between two forms using public shared variables

Lets assume parent from as Form1.cs and child form as Form2.cs

 Form1.cs
public partial class Form1 : Form
	{



		public static String fff = ""; // declared static so that the values remains same between diff objects

		public  string a
		{
			set
			{
			 fff = value; 
			}
		}
		Form2 frm = new Form2();
		
		 public Form1()//constructor
		{
			InitializeComponent();
		}

		private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (frm.IsDisposed)
			{

			}
			else
			{
				frm.Show(); //show child form
			}
			
		}

		private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
		   
				MessageBox.Show(fff);//check for the value
		   
	   
		}

		private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{

		}
	}

Form2.cs
public partial class Form2 : Form
	{
		string b = "";
		public Form2()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			
		}

		private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			Form1 frm = new Form1();//creating object of parent to access shared variable
			//do not use .show method as we dont want to display the form
			frm.a = "sdfsdf";// passing value
		}

		private void Form2_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
		{
		   
		}

		
	}
