Basic Multiple Forms question

Question

I am trying to get a simple c# pocket pc app to work and i am coming from the web side and some of this is new to me. I want a 2 form application. And basically hit a button on form1 and opens form2. Form1 sends some info and and populates some stuff in form2 none of this is a problem. I just set the fields to public and it work perfectly. The problem i am having is getting the information that i enter into form2 back over to form1. I am assuming i am missing something pretty easy. I have googled and came up empty. There have been some hits that are similar but more complex. Any pointers would be great. Thanks Brian

There are two ways to do this one is fire an event when the form closes. The easiest way is to define accessors to get the values you want in form 2 and then in form1 you should have something like the following: form2 = new Form2Class(); form2.ShowDialog(); form2.GetValue1(); form2.GetValue2(); form2.Dispose(); When form2 closes it will return to the line directly after the form2.ShowDialog() line and before you dispose of the form you can access its public functions to get your data.
