Hi. I have a problem with the example given here. I have a Form object named EDF1 on the form I have public static cmdrName, shipName_z etc. So I have this code in EDF1 form: public static EDF1 instance; public Label cmdrName_z; public Label shipName_z; and instance = this; cmdrName_z = cmdrName; shipName_z = shipName; Then in the second class project file I have a function public void read_file (string changeFile) in which I read the changes that appeared in the file given as "changeFile". If the change is significant, I enter it into the element on the EDF1 form with the code: EDF1.instance.cmdrName_z.Text = newValue The problem is, I get an exception once in a while: "Invalid cross-thread operation: The 'cmdrName' control is being accessed from a thread other than the thread on which it was created." This exception was originally thrown on this call stack: System.Windows.Forms.Control.Handle.get () System.Windows.Forms.Control.WindowText.set (string) System.Windows.Forms.Control.Text.set (string) ED_Informator.Jurnal.read_file (string) in Jurnal.cs ED_Informator.EDF1.OnChanged (object, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) in Form1.cs System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.OnChanged (System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.CompletionStatusChanged (uint, uint, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped *) System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback (uint, uint, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped *) Same appeal EDF1.instance.cmdrName_z.Text = newValue There are also two other functions, one of which is called to read some information from the most recently created change log file. The second pre-checks the file after creating a new change log file.

I kept finding programs opening multiple instances of form2 every time I transferred data, but this does exactly what I needed. Since I am using some hardware in combination with advanced mathematical processing to send messages back from the future, you will be first in line for the lottery numbers when everything is up and running. Thank you! I presume I can run a chart control using similar methods? There are so many charts in my program that one form is not enough.

I'm not sure if you can help me but whenever I try accessing something from the other form it gives me this exception error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." public partial class FormConfig : Form { public static FormConfig instance; public TextBox tbCaminhoCadastros; //Constructor public FormConfig() { InitializeComponent(); instance = this; tbCaminhoCadastros = txtCaminhoCadastros; } } public partial class FormMain : Form { private void wathexSolutions_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { FormConfig.instance.tbCaminhoCadastros.Text = "test"; } } The exeptions occurs for everything I try to access from "FormConfig" and not just for that textBox, it also happens when I try to access it from the "FormMain" Constructor too, are there anything I'm missing?

yes, if i remember correctly its the datagrid.datasource which contains you can tranfer it the same way.

[@francescosantone1858]

[@HassaanRaza]

thank you :)

[@Trexstudio1]

it say this - System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

[@5awaga]

Because you should open the form2 dialogue in the same time.

[@ThisIsABadIdeaSrsly]

I have a question regarding example 2. Let's say I open multiple instances of "Form2" using "button1". If I write something on textbox2 and apply the change pressing "button change form2", will the label in all instances of Form2 change? Or will only the last opened form be affected? After a bit of experimenting, the latter seems to be the case, but I wonder if it's possible to make the change apply to all instances of Form2 instead of just the last one. If you have any ideas I'd like to hear them. In advance, thank you for your time!

[@HassaanRaza]

form2.cs using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace databtwforms { public partial class Form2 : Form { //list of all instance of form2 opened by form1 private static List instancesList; public Label lab1; //this constructor run only one time because its static for initialization of list static Form2() { instancesList = new List(); } public Form2() { InitializeComponent(); instancesList.Add(this); lab1 = label1; } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form1.instance.tb1.Text = "set by form2"; } //NEWLY CREATED METHOD public static void ChangeAllText(string text) { foreach (var item in instancesList) { item.lab1.Text = text; } } } }

[@HassaanRaza]

inside form1: private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //USED THE NEWLY CREATED METHOD Form2.ChangeAllText(textBox2.Text); }

[@HassaanRaza]

so bascially each time we are creating a form2 we are storing instance info in a list, and when its time to change textbox we are change all the instances textboxes

[@ThisIsABadIdeaSrsly]

[@Isamu1013]

Hey great Video. I have a question when I create an instance of form 2 in the form 1 click event why can't I access methods/data using that instance name? Form2 newForm2 = new Form2(); string title = newForm2.getTitle; //This doesn't work and says that there is no getTitle function) and in Form2 I have defined public string getTitle() { return titleTextBox.text; } Using your way works perfectly just wonder why.

[@HassaanRaza]

it will show up! string title = newForm2.getTitle();

@@HassaanRaza I had the () in the code just forget them here. The issue was I mistakenly made it Form newForm2 = new Form2() instead of Form2 newForm2 = new Form2() No idea how that happened.

don't worry its just a stupid warning from vs2022, if you want to get rid of it use example Form? data type instead of Form

[@SadamKam]

bro first of all, thanks for the tutorial .. how about calling the form directly without creating an instance of it . inside form2 .. form1.textbox1.text .. what's wrong with it .. with all do respect .. it doesn't make sense to me to create multiple public variables in order to get data from the parent form .. I've been doing this for entire my life ..

[@HassaanRaza]

form1 is not static, so you need the exact instance of form1 to work on thats why its important to create a variable. (the variable store the exact instance of form1) that we want to change.
