Hello
I have a windows form application where a user inputs a value on a particular form (A) and that same value is to be used to generate a report which is on another form (B). The dataset for the report is not loading because it needs the value of the textbox in form A. Please, how can I do this? It's giving me an error of "No overload for method Fill takes 1 arguments" please help
this the code

C#

public string entmatno
       {
           get { return entmatno.Text; }
       }
private void Resultpage_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            // TODO: This line of code loads data into theCourseInfoDataSet.COURSEINFO_TBL; table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
            this.COURSEINFO_TBLTableAdapter.Fill(this.CourseInfoDataSet.COURSEINFO_TBL, entmatno.text);

            this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
        }

Please note the form is fired by a button click in form A

You cannot reference a textbox on form A inside the code for form B. form B has no way to access that control.

You need to pass the value in the textbox on form A to form B. There are a number of ways to do that.

read your article but I'm not trying to assign it to a label. what i want to do is to use it to get data from my dataset (the inputed text is like a foreign key in my table). Ive used it as a paremeter to get my datas successfully but i want to use it to generate a report which would be displayed on another form.

You need to pass the value of the text box on form 1 to form 2 so form 2 can use it to get the dataset.

I think you need to do something like this (using the "constructor approach" from the article i suggested)
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14122/Passing-Data-Between-Forms

C#

//in form1:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    //open form 2 and pass it the value of the textbox on form 1
    Form2 frm=new Form2(entmatno.Text);
    frm.Show();
}


//in Form2:
String entmatno = "";

public string Entmatno
       {
           set { entmatno = value; }
           get { return entmatno; }
       }


public Form2(string entmatnoFromForm1)
{
  InitializeComponent();
  Entmatno=entmatnoFromForm1);
}

private void Resultpage_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            // TODO: This line of code loads data into theCourseInfoDataSet.COURSEINFO_TBL; table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
            this.COURSEINFO_TBLTableAdapter.Fill(this.CourseInfoDataSet.COURSEINFO_TBL, Entmatno);

            this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
        }
