How to get a pass code from form2 to form1

[chris52672]

I am launching (form2.show()) from form1

In form2 the user has to enter a pass word. I need to pass this password off to form1 how do I do that?

I'm guessing its "password week" at some school because all of a sudden this week's theme on questions is how to pass passwords from one form to another.

Check the post 3 before yours

I still am confused is there something that is dumbed down a little more for the complete novice?

I try to think of things in the order that I will use them Form1, Form2, Form3... then build them in reverse order.. Form3, Form2, Form1 for one very practical reason: I can't reference Form2 inside of Form1 if I haven't yet *built* Form2.

So build your Password form.
Put a UserName textbox on it
Put a Password textbox on it.

In your main form:

PasswordForm myPasswordForm = new PasswordForm();
myPasswordForm.ShowDialog();
string PassedInUsername = UserNameTextbox.text;
string PassedInPassword = PasswordTextbox.text;

Can't get any simplier than that.
