Here[^] is an article which describes different techniques for passing data between forms. :)

You can find simple solution to this problem by using the "Object Approach" described in the article. The sample code there is for passing data from parent to the child, but it is very easy to pass data from child to parent, using the described approach. Give it a try! :)

Solution 1

i think you can easily access data of the child form by using object of that form

for example
childform.controlid
or
childform.object

Solution 3

Off the top of my head, you could:

Add a public property to the child form.
Return data from a ShowDialog method.
Pass a delegate to the constructor of the child form that the child form calls.
Subscribe to an event on the child form.
