Hello Sam Hobbs,sorry for my late reply, i am an embedded systems designer i just started to interface my hadrware designs to Pc windows programming,so am very for asking for such cheap question,but u can still teach me,dats why i have to ask so that i can learn as well,i tried to make my window class public but i cant still acess the data displaying on the fist form . all i want is how to read data from one form to another.(i.e I have 8 forms and I want to be able to pull data from one form to another. )

If I understand what you are saying, then experienced developers would create a class for the data and use forms as the UI. You seem to be using the form's class to store the data but experienced developers would be more likely to not do that. Again, I don't understand what you mean by parse. If you mean you want to access the data from a form in another form, then that is very easy to do; just make the items public. Since it is so easy to do, I assume you are asking for help with something more complex and if so then I still don't understand.

thanks Sam hobbs for being pointing out my mistakes on terminology: okay this is an overview of what my program is all about, i have designed a hardware device running on microcontroller 89S52 which measures temperatures on 6 - 8 rooms (A,B,C,D,E,F,G & H) using temperature sensors Lm35 ic. the data is connected to the Pc via serial port with windowform GUI with 8 textboxes displaying all the data or temperature values (this is done and working perfectly), but i want to be viewing each room on a different windowform with its textbox (there will 8 such forms with a textbox each). so my question is how can i read (parse) those values on the main form to their individual forms.(8 forms)

See how to write Hex bytes to the serial Port . You use the term hex and I tried to explan that the term hex is ambiguous. You still used the term hex without clarifying what you meant so I could not help you. In this thread, Mahesh asked for clarification of what you mean by parse, but you have not clarified what you mean. You will get more help if you use terminology that is more common, or at least try to clarify what you are trying to say.

Hello Mahesh Chand ,sorry for my signature always skips my mind when i want to edit it out. Okay that done, i have multiple forms program that has eight tetboxes displaying data from a device attached to PC serial port which i have done and its displaying very well but i want to parse some of those data displaying on textboxes to other forms.

I am not sure what do you mean by parsing data? Are you trying to read data from one Form to another? What is up with your signature? Can you clean that up?
