Hi all

I've got kinda stuck with my C# program.
I'm trying to transfer a variable (lets say and int) from one windows form to another, both in the same program, almost like a dialog, but i want to be able to transfer variables between both forms.

I know it can be done, i see it in so many programs that i use every day, but i cant pinpoint exactly what it is, its been bugging me for a week or so and i cant really do much more until i get this fixed.

Any help or clues to send me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

I'm using Visual C# 2005 and the .net 2.0 framework

Thanks very much
Nez

You can make use of properties, you can also make them protected or public, the latter is discouraged, because global variables can confuse you, and in turn will confuse your compiler or program if you misuse them.

I'm looking in and around static/instance variables, is that the right kind of area?

Although like you said nnxion, i'm seeing a lot of warnings about static variables and how i should not really use them

or maybe MDI is the way to go?
