Johnny,
The C# (OOP) way is to, on your results form, have private member variables
that will hold your data. You then expose these to the outside world via
properties that allow a parent object to set or get (or both) values on each
data member.
I imagine it would look something like this...
inputform.cs
------------
// Inside the event handler for the button the user clicks on to get a
result.
// Named "Calculate" or something like that
// code to retrieve all the user parameters goes here
// code to put results into local variables here
// Display results
ResultsForm results = new ResultsForm(); //creates the result form
results.Pressure = appliedPressure;
results.Movement = appliedMovement;
// other engineering type values to pass here
results.ShowDialog(); // display the form
ResultsForm.cs
----------------
// variable declarations here
string pressureApplied = "";
int movementExpected = -1;
// other engineering type variables declared here
// Properites declared here
string Pressure
{
// if the parent needs to set this value externally
set
{
pressureApplied = value;
}
// if the parent needs to get this value
{
return pressureApplied ;
}
}
int Movement
{
set
{
movementExpected = value;
}
}
// all your functions here can now access pressureApplied and
movementExpected.
// if you want to generate a report, this should be done from the
Load event handler,
// and not the constructor since at time of construction the values
haven't been passed
// through yet...
Hope that helps.
Thanks.
Daniel.

Hi, I'm building an engineering calculator. The calculator receives input
parameters in main window form, and I would like the results to be
presented
on another form (pop-up window form), however, I'm new to C# and I don't
know
how to link the i/o data from one form to another. I would be appreciated
if
anyone give me some idea on how to do so.
Regards,
Johnny
