Passing value from parent form to child form using showdialog function in WINDOWS APPLICATION using c#

Question

I have seen lot of articles on how to pass value(s) from child form to parent form.

But I would like to know, how to pass value from Parent form to Child form.

I have done this by declaring static variable in static class in PARENT page and accessing same variable in child class, but I don't think its an appropriate way. Because this same variable will be accessible for other forms of the application and may create a confusion in the application.

Could somebody suggest exact and clean way to pass variable from parent to child.

Why do you not pass the data through the child form constructor?

Use State management technique. if you want this values between two pages then use hidden field or query string. for multiple pages use session
