Hi Santhosh, You can set the textbox as public from the designer.cs file Use "public TextBox textBox1;" instead of "private TextBox textBox1;" so that use can assess the text box using the form like "form1.textBox1" or follow the blog by send the form details to another form http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/6f0898/simple-way-to-establish-interaction-between-two-from-inside/ Regards, Selva Ganapathy K

You first need to get a reference to the form the textbox is on. Suppose it's on a form called Form2. Then an easy way of getting a reference to Form2 from another form is as follows: Form2 f2 = (Form2)Application.OpenForms["Form2"]; Next you need to get a reference to the textbox itself (textBox1 say). Controls are normally private fields of their containing form but (from the Properties Box) you can change their Modifiers property to internal or public. You can then simply do: string text = f2.texBox1.Text; You can also do it without changing the Modifiers property by going through the form's Controls property: TextBox tb = (TextBox)f2.Controls["textBox1"]; string text = tb.Text; However, this assumes that the textbox has been placed directly on the form. If it's been placed instead in some container such as panel1 say, then you can still use this approach but the code is more complicated. Panel p = (Panel)f2.Controls["panel1"]; TextBox tb = (TextBox)p.Controls["textBox1"]; string text = tb.Text;
