to add to DarkSoul's reply you need to either pass form1 or the object
you wish to talk to in as a parameter to form2 or populate an existing
value in form2


public class Form1
{
public string objectname = "";

public somemethod()
{
// Create form2 here and pass a reference to Form1 to // the
constructor of form2

Form2 frm = new Form2(this);

// or populate a property of Form2 like this

frm.somepropertyname = this; // you could also populate
this property with whatever object you wish
frm.Show();
}
}

public class Form2
{
public Form thecallingform;

public Form2(Form frm)
{
this.thecallingform = frm;
}

public void anothermethod()
{
this.thecallingform.objectname = "foo";
}
}

hope this helps

Do you have to write all that just to take text from a textbox on
windowsform1 to another textbox on windowsform2.I have a button on
form1 when the user clicks the button i want to transfer the text.
