return Label1.text;
}
set{
Label1.text=value;
}
}

Form2:

(Form) frm=new Form("Form1");

"not working" generally isn't a good explanation of a problem. Do you get an exception? Or is simply nothing happening?

frm.findcontrol(dt.Rows[0]["ControlName"].toString()).text=dt.Rows[0]["ChangeText"].toString();
Statements like that are often the cause of problems.

Also, where exactly is this code executed? If it is in some method of Form2 then it is never going to work.

You could use something like this:

C#

foreach (System.Windows.Forms.Control ctrl in frm.Controls)
{
    switch (ctrl.GetType().Name)
    {
        case "Button":
        case "ToolStrip":
        case "ToolStripMenuItem":
        case "DataGridView":
            Debug.Print(ctrl.Name);
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}
