hi i use this way to overcome this problem consider the following senario lets say we have two forms form1 and form2 and we want to pass data(an integer lets say) from from1 to form2 1: we define a parameter in form2 in the constructor. 2: define a local variable (which is intFrom_form1  in my example) and assign it the parameter value we defined in the constructor. private int intFrom_form1; public Form2(int i) { // // Required for Windows Form Designer support // InitializeComponent(); intFrom_form1 = i; // // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call // } 3: to call this form we write the following code and the value is passed from form1 to form2 Form2 n = new Form2(12); n.Show(); i hope this helps if it doesnt please reply cause i have another way of doing it a more proffesional one.

i got a solution dont know if its beautiful but it works i creat an extra class for example public class mydata { private static string first_item; private static int second_item; get/set methods() } then in my first form i create an instance of mydata and i also do so in the second form mydata dat = new mydata() then i can access the data from both fields with my get/set methods maybe not very beautiful but it works anyone an other idea?
