Don't do it.

You can expose the GridView from one form to others, by declaring it public instead of private but it is not a good idea - it ties the two forms together so that one form cannot change without affecting the other. This is against the principles of OOP.

Instead, provide a public property or method which accepts the changes and passes them into the GridView. That way, the internals of the form are not exposed and it can be re-used by other parts of your app.
