trashed variable - C# / C Sharp

Creator

I'm creating a program that uses 2 windows forms. One form gets input from
the user and the other uses the input from the first form. When the second
form is instantiated the value from the first form gets trashed. How do I
get around this without using a global variable?

Creator,

Can you show how you are getting/setting the value? It's hard to
believe that the value is just trashed.

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

Actually, I don't believe that there is a problem with the code. The problem
is more that I am unfamiliar with C#. How do I pass a value from one form to
another?

The same way you pass a value from any object to another.

I suggest you stop where you are in your GUI application, and start
learning C# from the basics - start with very, very simple programs
which only use the console, do a bit of file manipulation maybe, and
work your way up. GUIs have their own problems quite aside from normal
C#, and if you're unfamiliar with the language to start with, you'll
have a much harder job trying to tackle both at the same time than you
would learning just the language and a few of the more basic core
libraries first.

"no variable or argument declarations are necessary."

by: James A. Donald | last post by:

I am contemplating getting into Python, which is used by engineers I admire - google and Bram Cohen, but was horrified to read "no variable or argument declarations are necessary." Surely that means that if I misspell a variable name, my program will mysteriously fail to work with no error message. If you don't declare variables, you can inadvertently re-use an variable used in an enclosing context when you don't intend to, or

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
