First Is This Variable Public if Yes You Can Do Somthing Like That in Form1

Form2 form2=new Form2();
form2.variableName=value;

If this variable is not public which will be better You can Write public function in the form and make it set the value of the variable you can code somthing like thar in Form2 which have the variable you wwant to access

public voide SetValue(int i)
{
myVariable=i;
}

and in Form1 You can Write

Form2 form=new Form2();
form2.SetValue(1);

Sorry, I should have been clearer what I mean. I am trying to open a new form, (Form2), from my main form (form1) On form2 are numerous controls which should change variables of form1.

Pass a reference to form1 in form2's constructor and store it inside form2: in form 1: Form2 form2 = new Form2(this); form2.Show(); in form 2: public Form2(Form1 refToForm) { this.form1 = refToForm; } private someMethod() { refToForm.SomeProperty = someValue; }
