How you navigate from main from to form2 ?

How are you opening form2? You can pass values of all the textboxes of Form1 to form2, if you are opening Form2 from Form1 and later you can write these values to your my.txt file...

You can get the text out of a textbox by:

C#

string str = textbox.Text;

then write it to a file with a StreamWriter[^].

Since the buttonclick event is on Form2, you'll need to use: Form1.Textbox1.Text.

Well I assumed anyone coding in C# would be able to figure that out for themselves.

Looking at the question, my guess is that this is exactly the problem were the OP is struggling with. So, why withhold this vital information?

I'm not withholding anything, I'm trying to get the OP to think for himself; something that far too many posters here seem incapable of.

Okay, and you don't assume anyone coding in C#, would be able to extract the text from a Textbox ???

Look, if you have a better answer then post it instead of wasting time on this ridiculous argument.

Never mind, case closed!

Solution 3

C#

TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("D:\\date.txt");
// write a line of text to the file
tw.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text);//TextBox1 is the id of the textbox

// close the stream
tw.Close();

Hi,

In button Click event of Form2, Use this code

C#

using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("my.txt"))
            {
                
                    sw.WriteLine(Form1.Textbox1.Text);
                    sw.WriteLine(Form1.Textbox2.Text);
                    sw.WriteLine(Form1.Textbox3.Text);
                    sw.WriteLine(Form1.Textbox4.Text);
                    sw.WriteLine(Textbox1.Text);
              
            }
