Solution 1

Exactly how depends on the "relationship" between the two forms.
Have a look at these, one of them will fit your circumstances.
The form that creates an instance of another:

C#

MyForm mf = new MyForm();
mf.Show();

Is the "parent", the other form is the "child".
(This doesn't imply any formal MDI relationship)

Transferring information between two forms, Part 1: Parent to Child[^]
Transferring information between two forms, Part 2: Child to Parent[^]
Transferring information between two forms, Part 3: Child to Child[^]

@OriginalGriff the thing is in my item form ive already created a functionality where i click the total button which opens purchased items form and displays the total and subtot from the item form into the purchased items form using the constructor method u suggested. so my aim is for the item names that are checked to be shown in the data grid of the purchased items form at the same click of the total button. if i were to implement yur suggestion of the transmission of data article i wud be opening a different form without the earlier functionalilty . my aim is for both of those functionalities to occur simultaneously.
