      :doh: Did you try?

      //Form1:
      private string valueFromSecondForm;

      public string ValueFromSecondForm
      get { return value; }
      set { valueFromSecondForm = value; }

      private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      Form2 frm = new Form2(this);
      frm.Show();
      }

      //Form2:
      public partial class Form2 : Form
      {
      Form opener;

      public Form2(Form parentForm)
      {
          InitializeComponent();
          opener = parentForm;
      }
      
      private void button1\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          opener.ValueFromSecondForm = valueFromForm2Textbox.Text;
      }
      

      }

      Other way could be to transfer the data at the time of closing the form2, here: Managing Data Among Multiple Forms (Part 1) [^]

                      Hi Promance, Then it sounds to me like you want ... at all times ... for the exact same content to appear on both forms ... yes ? That's "synchronization." And, if you have synchronization working, then why would you also need to have a button to press to make sure the content was synchronized ? Please describe more clearly the nature of the data you are synchronizing here: 1. is it only text characters: example: you want a textbox on Form1 to always display the same text as a textbox on Form2, and the reverse. 2. or, is the data "more than that" ? does the data include content which you interpret and then construct controls based on your interpretation ? And, finally, it would be helpful to clearly describe the source of the data: 1. by direct action of a user while your application is running: like typing in a text box 2. by making calls to some external database and getting new data ... or does some external source notify your application there is new data needed to be used ? Give us a brief description of what's on Form1 and Form2?: what kind of controls ? Custom controls from 3rd. party companies, Excel used via VSTO, a UserControl you created yourself, standard Visual Studio toolbox controls ? best, Bill good luck, Bill

                      "Humans are amphibians ... half spirit and half animal ... as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation: the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis

                        It don't need complicated as you say. First, i want a textbox on Form1 to always display the same text as a textbox on Form2 when i press a letter key. Second, i have a project about File Explore in Windows, when i want to rename a folder or a file(i have used ListView to show file and folder), i must be add a form named Rename. And i'm stuck here, i can rename file, but can't update file's name in ListView or TreeView.
