Hi there,
There are several ways to transfer data from form to form.
- Create a object to hold the data, and pass it to the form in its constructor.
- Define a property in the target form and set that to the value(s) you want.
- Save data in a backend database/file and read the contents.
- Raise events which can then be consumed, with the data in the EventArgs.
Use of these will vary from situation to situation.. The most common most likely being the first..
As for your second question. If you mean render it DIRECTLY on the form, you will need to paint the data manually. Although, I would strongly advise against this, since controls do a LOT of "unseen" work, especially when it comes to working with the OS (such as rendering things nicely, tab support, positioning and resize handling etc).
Perhaps trying explaining the problems you are approaching so we can offer better advice?
