The Simplest Is Here

If You want to get textString from FormA to FormB
then First make the Modifiers property of textBoxes to Friend .
And Try this.
Under Form Load event of FormB

VB

textBox1.text = FormA.textBox1.text

you Can Get the Value by Declaring any String also.
But You must Hide or Send to Back your FormA.
It will not work If you Close the FormA.
So under your Close Button Code there to hide the form.

may this Can help you

As the question turned out to be very popular, and my previous answers often were not well understood, probably were not clear enough, I decided to write a Tips/Trick article complete with detailed code samples and explanations: Many Questions Answered at Once — Collaboration between Windows Forms or WPF Windows.

There is a little problem in this way -- please my comment and solution. I think you already knew what I propose in such cases.

This is the code i have been using... and as stated before for some reason it does not work in my project no matter how much i maniplute it...any ideas what would cause thiss?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 30-Aug-11 17:20pm

It will work, but some problem is that the one form instance should get a reference to another form instance -- not appropriate isolation between the two. That's why it's much better to pass just an interface reference -- please see my solution. I voted 4 for this one.

Do not manipulate -- implement it yourself with full understanding of what you are doing, using the idea. If you stuck, make a ***simple*** code sample and post it. In fact, start with a simple code sample and later apply it to your real-life project. I suggest you use my way.

I've tried and test many projects that way.. test the theory in a sample project and then integrate into actual project!
