That removed the error, but introduced another. I now get an error on the same line but is is under FormA.PanelA stating: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method or property. txtQtyB.Text = FormA.panelA.txtQtyA.Text; I'm not sure how I can change the accessor for a dynamically created control? And just to add a little more. FormA creates and calls FormB.

I'm trying to take data collected on a form, and output it to another form, but I'm getting an "inaccessible due to its protection level" error. So I have form A, that has a panel with some dynamically generated textboxes. FormA -> panelA -> txtQtyA In Form B, I want to access the data, and I'm trying to use: txtQtyB.text = FromA.panelA.txtQtyA.Text, but I get the error for panelA. I have tried changing the forms constructor to Public, just to see if it would "see" it with no luck. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sorry to not respond earlier, but your solution works perfectly. Thanks all for your help!:thumbsup:

I have created X number of ComboBoxes (PartNo) dynamically, that depending on the number selected in it, it will pull/populate some textboxes with Part Information. All boxes have been given a Key value of cboBox1, cboBox2, etc. How can I make an event for these comboboxes?

private void cboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

Not sure if it matters, but the comboboxes are all part of a panel (pn), so maybe it would be?

private void pn.cboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

I hate not knowing what I don't know.

Gentlemen, I wanted to thank you for your help. Both of you got me going again.

Ok, so I follow what you did with the code. Having difficulty in taking it to the next step. My thoughts are, I should now be able to:

tbProd.Text = "Blah";

However, I get the following error: 'System.NullReferenceException'in Project.exe ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") And to make sure I really do understand what you suggested:

TextBox tbProd = (TextBox)pn.Controls.Find("txtProdName" + i, false).FirstOrDefault();

Creating a new instance of a textbox, called tbProd that is being set to the first control found in the panel, pn with a name of txtProdName + i, and casting that to type textbox. If I truly understand your code, and the error, it would appear that tbProd didn't actually get the copy I thought it did?? I truly want to thank you for your help.

I have dynamically created textboxes in a loop, and given them names at creation time.

txtProdName.Name = "txtProdName" + i;
pn.Controls.Add(txtProdName);
txtProdDesc.Name = "txtProdDesc" + i;
pn.Controls.Add(txtProdDesc);

The above snippet works fine. Controls are created, and removed as needed. Now, I would like to go back and read or write information into these textboxes, but I'm at a lost as to how to address them. I'm trying to do something like:

txtProdName + i.Text = "Blah";
txtProdDesc + i.Text = "Blah2";

Now I know the above code won't work, but wondering if there is someway to do something similar? Or am I totally barking up the wrong tree. Thanks in advance. P.S. I haven't found an answer to this anywhere, which leads me to believe I'm at the wrong tree. :-D
