Passing form messages

[redspider]

I'm new to c#.

I have the main form(Form1) with a button witch spawns another form(Form2) so the user can select a profile to open via a combo box, How do i pass that information back to the main form.

You usually have a property on your second form which is set before it closes - the same way as OpenFileDialog has the FileName property.

i.e.


public class MainForm
{
private void button1_Click(...)
{
SubForm form = new SubForm();

if (form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
int selectedItem = form.SelectedItem;
}
}
}

public class SubForm
{
private int _selectedItem;

public int SelectedItem
{
get
{
return _selectedItem;
}
}

// let's assume this form contains a list box called 'listBox1'
void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(...)
{
_selectedItem = listBox1.SelectedIndex;
}
}


Get it ?
