ya so when you switch from one form,store your required data in global variables and use it in your other form.If you are making on web then use session to store it

I'm not sure if i have understood you 100% but to retrieve data from another class (or form) you will need to set the textboxes as public. This will allow access from any other class (you can research protected instead of public for better security), however, form 2 needs to access the instance of form 1 in order for it to access form 1's controls. You could alter the constructor of form 2 to take an object of type Form then when you open form 2 from within form 1 you pass the parameter 'this'. you can then access form1.textbox.text via the parameter name in form 2.

I hope i did not confuse you. If i did you basically need to research, public / private/ protected securities, and changing properties within an instance.
