value in the variable expires

[Vijay]

I have 2 forms. in form1 i declared a public variable in which a value is
stored. then i goto form2 . (for this is create an object of form2 in form1.)
when i go to form2 there is call form1. when i come to form1 the value stored
in the variable decalred in form1 gets lost. how can i retain those values?

First forms are just classes like most things in .Net. It would seem that
you need to pass a reference of form1 to form2 so that from form 2 you can
access the public variable.

public class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2(Form1 form1)
{
form1.YourPubli cVariable ....
}
}

should i pass them to the next form and get them again to the first form in
order to reatin them.?

First ask yourself if the public variable on Form1 really belongs to Form1.
Perhaps you should be passing a class that holds this variable to each of
your forms. What is this public variable? Is Form1 the main form of your
application so it will always be instansiated?
