Pass Data From One Window Form To Another Window Form Application Using C#

We take some data from user in form 1 and display that data in form 2.

Initial chamber

Step 1: Open Visual Studio 2010, Go to File, New, Projects, then under Visual C# select Windows.



You can change the name of the project and browse your project to different location too. And then press – OK.

Step 2: Now open your Form1.cs file, where we create our design for form 1, take three labels, change its text to name, email, city and then take three textboxes and a button. Here's the image.



Now add one more Form to your project by going to your project- Right Click, Add New Item, then Window Form.

Make its design like the following image, here we have to take label control only to show the data from form1.
