Why after linking to Form the data doesn't transfer from Form2 to Form1

I am trying to do a big coding project however I hit a wall.

I need to show the name and score once the data has been entered in.

I tried using youtube tutorials, classes for the code. But no such luck.

Any help would be great!



form1:



private void bNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

score link = new score();
link.Show();

SudentBox.Items.Clear();



form2:



public object StudentBox get; private set; 

private void bCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

this.Close();

try

string name = txtName.Text;
int score = Convert.ToInt32(txtScore.Text);
txtStoreScores.Text += score.ToString() + " ";

catch (Exception x)

MessageBox.Show("Please enter a number");



private void bClearScores_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

txtName.Text = "";
txtScore.Text = "";
txtStoreScores.Text = "";



Examples of what the forms should look like with the final result.



form1



form 2

  • I have no idea what "linking data to form means", but there is such a thing as DataBinding - if the 2 forms share the same datasource, data added in one form is automagically available in the other. No luck required.

If I'm correct, you are trying to code a form of DialogBox.

Say, you want to get a name from the dialog (e.g. from a TextBox in Form2), you can have a model like this (in Form2 of course).



public string Name

//where myTextBox is the design name of your textbox
get => myTextBox.Text;
set => myTextBox.Text=value;



Simple Ok Button



public void OkBtnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

this.Close();



Now, you need to actually get this info to display in your Form1. That is easy.

Just like you have started above:



private void bNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

score link = new score();
link.ShowDialog();
//Note that you won't be able to access form1.
SudentBox.Items.Clear();
//You can now get the name
string _nameResult=link.Name;
NameTextbox.Text=_nameResult;



I hope this gets you started!

    You do this by using the property.
    Add public static property on Form 2 and set the values of the text to the property respectively and then access them on the Form 1.



    On Form 2 in the Ok button click event do this



    public static string Name get; set; 
    public static string Scores get; set;
    private void bOk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    Name = txtName.Text;
    Scores = txtStoreScores.TextBox;



    Then in the Form 1 OnLoad event access those properties and display them in the TextBox



    private Form1_Load (object sender, EventArgs e)

    StudentBox.Items.Add(string.Format("0 1", Form2.Name, Form2.Scores);
