passing vlaue from 1 form to another

i'm trying to get a value from the textbox in Form A, FormWizIntervalTime and store it in a container class, ScheduleContainer. The stored value is retrived by Form B, FormWizConfirm into a txtbox. I have used property to get n set the values in ScheduleContainer. here r the codes... In Form A: class FormWizIntervalTime { ..... private void txtScdName_Validating(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) { //yewchong - You declare a new object here, so new memory is being assigned ScheduleContainer strName = new ScheduleContainer(); strName.SetScheduleName = txtScdName.Text.ToString(); /*if(strName =="" ) } in class SchduleContainer { ...... private string sName; public string SetScheduleName { set { //FormWizIntervalTime form = new FormWizIntervalTime(); sName = value; MessageBox.Show(sName); } get { return sName; //MessageBox.Show(sName); } } } Lastly in class FormWizConfirm { ........ private ScheduleContainer name; private void FormWizConfirmation_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { //yew chong - over here, you declared another new object, therefore new memory //will be assigned again, therefore the values would not be able to be passed over. name = new ScheduleContainer(); txtCName.Text = name.SetScheduleName; // string i = "text"; //name.SetScheduleName = i; //txtCName.Text = i; MessageBox.Show(txtCName.Text); } } the problem is...when the FormWizConfirm loads, its not displaying the value set in Form A(showing a blank txtfield). there are 2 more forms between FormWizIntervalTime and FormWizConfirm. thanks in advance!

Unless I'm missing something it doesn't look like you ever pass the container object to FormWizConfirm. In FormWizConfirm you instantiate a new container object, but you never assign any values to it. Try overloading the FormWizConfirm constructor to take a ScheduleContainer as an argument: class FormWizConfirm { ........ private ScheduleContainer name; public FormWizConfirm(ScheduleContainer myContainer) { this.name = myContainer; } private void FormWizConfirmation_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // name = new ScheduleContainer(); -- this isn't needed since you assigned in the constructor txtCName.Text = name.SetScheduleName; } ------------------------ then in FormWizIntervalTime ------------------- private void txtScdName_Validating(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) { //yewchong - You declare a new object here, so new memory is being assigned ScheduleContainer strName = new ScheduleContainer(); strName.SetScheduleName = txtScdName.Text.ToString(); FormWizConfirm myForm = new FormWizConfirm(strName); ..... That should do it. Sam
