# HOW TO PASS VALUE FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER FORM

To pass value from one form to another we have to add a property in the form from which we want to send data. To set property we have to write the following code. Let us say this is form2.\

```
    public int num        {            get            {                return 5;            }            set            {                num = value;            }        }    public int num1        {            get            {                return 15;            }            set            {                num1 = value;            }        }
```

The code above will return 5 when the property when it is called from form1. To call the property from form1 we have to write the collowing code in form1.

int n = form2.num;

## Example

Here br is object of form2 (browse form).

```
frmBrowse br = new frmBrowse();private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {                       br.ShowDialog();            txtId.Text = br.num;            txtName.Text = br.num1;                        panel1.Enabled = true;                    }
```
