Accessing ArrayList Across Mutiple Windows Forms

ianparkins

Hi all, I am designing a project that contains mutiple windows forms. In my Main Form I declared an ArrayList variable to store various objects. I have an "Add" button on the Main Form which loads a new form where the user can enter information (creating an object behind the scenes). I want to add this object to my Array List in my Main Form. Can anyone give me some tips on an efficient way to do this? Thanks, Zach(Nevermore)

One of the best ways is to do foloow steps: in main form: when calling child form add childForm.Owner = this; add function like this: public void AddItemToArray(object[] arrayItems) { MainArray.Add(arrayItems); } in child form: in some function, i.e. in OkButton_Click: object[] items = new object[n]; //fill items array somehow ((MainForm)this.Owner).AddItemToArray(items);
