Hi, You can use C# Properties for this... Here's what u want...

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

    private void Form2\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        test \_test = new test();
        string strId = \_test.StrID;
    }
}

public class test
{
    string strID = string.Empty;

    //This is the property that you can refer from any other class in which u have instantiated this class (test)
    public string StrID
    {
        get { return strID; }
        set { strID = value; }
    }

    public string hello()
    {
        strID = this.txtTextBox1.Text; //here i am confused with my basic concept (can i assign value to strID from TextBox and if yes then how to get TextBox Value from form2 because I am making a new class here)
        return strID;
    }
}

Thanks, Ram

Properties work for getting information from an object instance you hold a reference to. To get the object to tell the 'parent' without it being requested, use events - see here[^].
