Hi!
I'm writing little software just to get some practice in c#. I have listview in form 1 where program displays first name and last name form access database. When admin selects name/surname in listvioew and press show usercard(form2) I have a label in form2 and I want it to display name and surname in that label(as who's card is open). I'va tried different ways (all I could find using google) nothing worked for me (probably I was doing something wrong) I've managed to get that almost working at some point but label was showing name only on click.....I'm neewbe in c# so any help would be great.

Form1 code:

using System.Windows.Forms;

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'libraryDataSet.users' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
            //this.usersTableAdapter.Fill(this.libraryDataSet.users);

        }

            //MessageBox.Show(passMessage);

        label3.Text = Convert.ToString(passMessage);



        }


}
}

Thanks!

..Oh and label on form2 always displays the same name despite different choice

Send Value from Form1 to Form2 You can use this code
In Form1

private void btnsendvalue_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

           Form2 form2 = new Form2(TextBox1.Text +"SurName "+ TextBox2.Text);
            form2.ShowDialog();
        }

and in Form2 use this code

public Form2 (string text)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            label1.Text = text;
        }

Hope this Help You

Works like charm !!! Thanks a lot!! I was inserting label1.Text=text into public void label3_click {..} .....I'm a nooooooob! Thanks again!
