How to tranfer an object from Form1 to Form2

[Bso_Cool]

I am trying to move a label from form1 to form2 and I don't want to have to create another label on form2 and transfer all the information it carries to the other form and then back again. So what I want to do is just move the label from form1 to form2 and then later back again. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

That's not a real good idea. You'd be much better off and have far more maintainable code if you just created the label on the second form and changed the text property when you needed to. What you're proposing is overly complex for little benefit.

This is so wrong. You shouldn't be moving controls between forms, the controls shoudn't even be visible between forms. What a disaster. To communicate between forms ( passing text to set labels, for example ), form2 can expose a property that form1 sets ( a string that sets the label ), form2 can take the string in it's constructor, or you can set up delegates to pass the info between forms based on some event in one form.
