Passing Data Back to Main form. C#

[DragonLord]

I have a scenario i am not sure how to code it. Basically i have a Main form that has a datagrid of objects. I want to click a button on this form that will load a second form that will allow the user to pick a third form to be created. Once this third from is created i want to add this newly created object back to an object list on the main form that is linked to the datagrid.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It is holdning me up on a time sensative project so i appreciate anyone who can respond quickly.

thanks,

I think you need to divulge a bit more information here. The datagrid holds what kind of objects? What exactly you mean when you say a third form is created? Is the user dragging and dropping controls to create the layout of the 3rd form and you need to save that as a serialized object?

Ok I don't think the type of object matters. But if you say you need an better example lets do this.

Main form contains a datagrid with a list of people.

(Object Person)

now the user wants to add another person to the list.
clicks <new> button. a form opens up with a dropdown list with more specific types of people. Objects that inherit from the orginal Person object.
user selects say teacher.

Form 3 opens up and allows the user to specify thing such as name, age, sex and more specific qualities of a teacher.

I then want to take that newly created object (teacher) an add it to the list of people in the datagrid.

Hope this helps.

Yes, certainly this example makes things easier to understand.
From what I understand you can bind the datagrid using BindingManagerClass with your custom class object. Your class needs to implement IList/IComponent (based on what you want). Then on click of save of the 3rd form update the Object and the datagrid will be updated with the new record. This article gives an overview of the CurrencyManager & BindingManager class (to get started).
