When you create the second form, make sure it knows about the first
form (pass it as a reference in the constructor, for instance) and give
some way in the first form of receiving the new value. Just think of
the forms as ordinary objects, and how you'd do this if the GUI wasn't
involved at all.

There can be two ways

1. Pass the reference of form1 to the form2. Using that reference from
form2, access the text box (it should be public or if you want to keep it as
private then you would have to create a public property to access it) of
form1 and set the text there.

2. Create a pubilc property in form2 which will be set with the text when
you press that button. Since form1 has the reference to form2, use that
reference and access the public property of form2 and then set it in the
text field of form1.

I hope it helps..
