getting textbox value

[Omar B]

I have form1 which contains radiobutton1 and radiobutton2. And textbox1. I have another form form2 which contains a double x which I'll use it in an equation. I made an if statement that states what to be in textbox1 "12000" or "24000" if radiobutton 2 is selected. in form2 i made the following :
form1 form = new form1();
double x;
x = double.parse(form.textbox1.text);
there is also try and catch statements for inputs in form2.
It compiles without error, however it always shows the messagebox in the catch section.
please tell me what to do.
Thanks

so you want to pass the value from form1 to form2.

Try this, add these commands in form1:

public static double X;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.textBox1.TextChanged += new EventHandler(textBox1_TextChanged);
}
 
void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Double.TryParse(this.textBox1.Text, out X))
        X = Convert.ToDouble(this.textBox1.Text);
    else
        MessageBox.Show("Error. Input value must be numeric");
}

Add these commands in form2:

double X;
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    X = Form1.X;
}

I just cannot thank you enough. You really saved my brain because i'm still a beginner in programming and doing a project for the university using C#. Really thank you

Hi, you're welcome.

You can pass any value to another form.
One of the method is making the value public static.
Then the value will be accessible in another form.

for example, in this case,

public static double X;

cheers.
