Vulpes · Answer

First go to the Properties Box for your DataGridView and change its Modifiers property from Private to Internal. This will enable it to be accessed directly from other forms or classes in the application. You can then access the DataGridView (dataGridView1 say) from Form2 as follows: // get reference to existing Form1 instance Form1 f1 = Application.OpenForms["Form1"] as Form1; // now get reference to dgv DataGridView dgv = f1.dataGridView1; // do something with dgv
