find below a sample of my code that i used to pass values of the selected row in the gridview to text boxes on another form ;
there is the scenario : i have 2 forms the first form contains a button and textboxes , the button opens the second forms "form 2 ". The form2 contains the Xtragrid , from this form i want to perform a double click event to load each selected row values in the first form .. I have used " Observer pattern concept"; but i still dont get the correct output ,actually it does work but only when i register the first form onto the second form load event ;


C#
// there is the interface class 
namespace InterFaces 
{ 
interface IUserSubject 
{ 
    void RegistrObserver(IUserObserver observer); 
    void RemoveObserver(IUserObserver observer); 
    void NotifyObservers(Issue outData); 
} 
 
public interface IUserObserver 
{ 
    void Update(Issue outData); 
} 
 
public class Issue 
{ 
    public int value1; 
    public int value2; 
    public int value3; 
} 
 
}

        form2.Show();

The way to do this is with delegates. You hook up delegates between the two forms, then they can send each other messages based on events.

https://www.google.com.au/search?sugexp=chrome,mod=3&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=using+delegates+C%23 - any of the hits there will show you how to use delegates.
This is the popular question about form collaboration. The most robust solution is implementation of an appropriate interface in form class and passing the interface reference instead of reference to a "whole instance" of a Form. Please see my past solution for more detail: How to copy all the items between listboxes in two forms[^].

Actually, please see all the answers in this discussion.
