Oh... Tag it! Forms or ASP.NET or what?

So tag it! Use "Improve question". Look, you're the one who need it.

Another way is to keep the Form1 is memory ( instead of Form1.close , invoke Form1.Hide) and show it back by using Form1.Show as an when required.

you can store that value in settings... for that
open your project properties....
select Settings tab and enter your variable name, Data Type of variable and select scope as user and last if you want give any default value then give it...
after that create one property to access that variable create this property in both form or you can create one static property for that in common static class...
public string FirstValue
{
    get { return Properties.Settings.Default.DestinationPath; }
    set
    {
         if (value != Properties.Settings.Default.FirstValue)
         {
             Properties.Settings.Default.FirstValue = value;
             Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
         }
    }
}

create other variables as per need of your application...
and access it directly or use it through property that you have created before...
now you can access this variable from any form of your application...

I don't know why it is down voted...
This is better way instead hiding the form because there is more forms in application then hiding forms still occupy the memory, so application will be heavy loaded to memory... if you save some required value and close the form then it will take less memory to run application....
I think its better way then hiding the form.....
The best way to form collaboration is implementing appropriate interface by the form class.
Please see the details in my past solution, see also other solutions and discussion:
