Try this code private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { System.Threading.Thread mythread = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(OpenNewFrom)); mythread.Start(); FirstName = textBox1.Text; LastName = textBox2.Text; this.Close(); } public static void OpenNewFrom() { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(Data Source=SYSTEM19\SYSTEM19;Initial Catalog=linqDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=reddy@123); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insert into Employee values(' + FirstName + '' + LastName + ') con); con.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.Parameters.Clear(); con.Close(); cmd = new SqlCommand(Select * from Employee con); con.Open(); SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(); da.SelectCommand = cmd; DataSet ds1 = new DataSet(); da.Fill(ds1); Application.Run(new Form2(ds1));//Create an instance of your new form. No need to call show method. } And your Form2 as per earlier code remove Form_Load code and add this public Form2(DataSet ds1) { InitializeComponent(); dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true; dataGridView1.DataSource = ds1; dataGridView1.DataMember = Table; } Final look of Form2 using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace dynamicData { public partial class Form2 : Form { public DataSet ds { get; set; } public Form2(DataSet ds1) { InitializeComponent(); dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true; dataGridView1.DataSource = ds1; dataGridView1.DataMember = Table; } private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { } private void Form2_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { //dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true; //dataGridView1.DataSource = ds; //dataGridView1.DataMember = Table; } } }
