Answer 1

For sending values between two forms, you may

1-> Send the values in the constructor of the second form. You may create a paramterized constructor and send the values when you initialize the form as :

 Form1 obj = new Form1(Object);

2-> You may take a reference in to your first form in the second form.

In second form,

public Form1 objForm1;

and in First Form,

Form2 objForm2=new Form2();
Form2.objForm1=this;

and then you can use Form2's objForm1 to refer to Form1's textbox or any control.

EDIT :

Consider you want to send all values from Form1 to Form2

In your second form you must have a variable of type Form1 that refers to the prev form. So in second form,

public Form1 objForm1;

and then you need to send the current instance of the Form1 to Form2 as

Form2 objForm2=new Form2();
Form2.objForm1=this;

i.e. the objForm1 that you created in Form2 refers to this instance of Form1.

Now in Form2 you may use any of Form1's control or variable as,

Form1.TextBox1 or Form1.Variable
