Question

I have a form that I created that is supposed to load login information / settings that is seperate from the main form. I was wondering how exactly I would pass this information from one form to the other.

I figured you needed to use things like the form closed event (I was gonna pass the information as the form closed). But I am not exactly sure on how to go about it.

No, you would use properties generally, or fields for a quick solution. In the form that obtains the information, return the data from properties:

 public readonly int Age {
     get {
         return int.Parse(this.txtAge.Text);
     }
 }

for example. Then, you would access it like any other property, after the form has closed:

 SomeForm someForm = new SomeForm();
 someForm.ShowDialog();
 int userAge = someForm.Age;
