Child form back to parent

jesse

Ok,

Form1 creates and opens Form2
Form2 then needs to pass a string back to Form1.

Its like this,
Form1:
public void fromForm2(string incomingString)
{
MessageBox.Show(incomingString);
}

Form2:
public void passToForm1(string something)
{
// I think I need something like this? I dont know
this.Parent.fromForm2(something)
}

Form1
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 form2 = new Form2();
            form2.ShowDialog();

            string savedString = form2.SavedString;
        }

Form2
private string savedString;

        public string SavedString
        {
            get { return savedString; }
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            savedString = "Incoming!";
        }
