how to place values selected in a data grid of one form into textboxes of another form

Question

Hi I have a winform that contains a datagridview control in which there are 3 columns.The first one is `username` second one is `password` and the third one is `type`(indicates general user or admin)all values are stored in mysql table `usertypes`. And in second form I have a textbox called user_type and other controls. Now if I click on a particular row of the data gridview containing from(first form) then the value in 'type' field of that form should be placed into the textbox of this second form and should be stored in a mysql db table 'profile'. How to achieve this??

Overload the Second form Constructor to pass values from First form. Construct the second form object with the value that to be passed i.e. with the overloaded constructor. You can access the parameter value in the second form directly. Code in Second form: public string varFromF1 =  ; public Form2() { InitializeComponent(); } public Form2( string str) { InitializeComponent(); varFrom1 = str; } varFrom1 can be accessed directly in the second form. Code in First Form: Form2 fm2 = new Form2 ( 123 ); fm2.Show(); Thanks Aru
