Hi:
Try This Code

At Form1 At Buttone1
{
Int Sum = Convert.ToInt16(textBox1.Text) + Convert.ToInt16(textBox2.Text);
Form2 Frm = new Form2(Sum);
Frm.ShowDialog();
}

At Form2
public Form2(int Sum)
{
InitializeComponent();
textBox1.Text = Sum.ToString();
}
I Hope That Help You

I suggest instantiating form2 on form1 like so:

Form = new form1();

on form 2 you can set it so that the text-boxes etc are set to public not private then you can access what is in there or set what should be in there by doing something similar to the following:

Form.tbx_Name.Text

you can either get whats in there or set what is in there depending on what it is you want to do, hope this helps!
