Hi Team,

I am new to this .Net Field. I just wanted to create a textbox and a button in one form1.cs (C#) . After entering the text in textbox1, click button it should redirect to form2.cs and to display the content in a textbox2. Please help me on this.

The problem is that, if you close form1 which I assume is your start-up form, it will close the entire application.

However, what you can do is to make form1 invisible when form2 is shown and then make it visible again when form2 is closed:

// form1.cs

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2 = new Form2(textBox1.Text);
this.Visible = false;
f2.Show(this); // use Show(this) now rather than ShowDialog()
}
}

// form2.cs

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2(string text)
{
InitializeComponent();
textBox1.Text = text;
}

// add this handler via the Properties box, not directly
private void Form2_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
this.Owner.Visible = true;
}
}

Hi,

When I execute this code, actually both the forms are active. Could you pls suggest me how to display data only in form2 by disabling form1.

In simple when i type data in form 1, form 1 should be closed and form 2 should pop up showing the data.

Try this:

// form1.cs

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2 = new Form2(textBox1.Text);
f2.ShowDialog();
}
}

// form2.cs

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2(string text) // alter constructor to take a string parameter
{
InitializeComponent();
textBox2.Text = text;
}
}
