c# multiple forms communication

[ikurtz]

greetings, i have 3 forms that need to communicate with each other. what is the best way of achieving this? at present im considering using delegates. your comments are welcome. my app is c# windows forms.

You can use delegate, events or static. I recommend you use static class if app is not Multi-Thread.

public static settings
{
// No constructor
public static String Info;
}

with this class you must use directly not initialize it.

Form1_OnLoad(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
settings.Info = "I have set this text to static member of settings class";
}

Delegates seem good in case it should happen on occurrence of some event.

If it is a one way communication (i.e. from parent to child) you may consider adding an overloaded constructor. If you want 2 way communication, then delegates would be useful. By the way, what kind of a communication you are talking about ? What objects would be passed to and fro ? Details would be great. Thanks !
