You may wanna read this article: Passing Values between Forms in .NET 1.x with C# and VB.NET examples[^]

There are a lot of possible ways and a lot of possible scenaries where you transfer a string from the one form to another. A very simple way is to associate the both form. That means, that form 1 has a instance for form 2 or reversed. So you have to make sure, that the properties from form 2 are public that you wan't to set from form 1. Here a small example of a association of two forms:

public partial class Form1 : Form {

    public Form2 Form2 { get; set; }

    public Form1() {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void button1\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

        Form2.MyStringIfWantToSet = "Hello World";
    }
}

public partial class Form2 : Form {

    public string MyStringIfWantToSet {
        get {
            return textBox1.Text;
        }
        set {
            textBox1.Text = value;
        }
    }

    public Form2() {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

[STAThread]
static void Main() {
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

        Form1 form1 = new Form1();
        Form2 form2 = new Form2();

        form1.Form2 = form2;

        form2.Show();

        Application.Run(form1);
    }

I really hope i could help, sorry for my english...

in form2 declare public property public string FindText; you can access this property, like this string find = from1.FindText;
