hi Limor, It's a delegate. Delegate is like a function pointer. Refer to this if you like to know more information. Using delegates is the best way to resolve your problem. If you find my answer useful, please mark "Do you like this answer' check box.

Hi Limor, I have the answer for your problem. If you find my answer useful, please do not forget to check 'Do you like My answer'.. Here is the code. Form1 -------- Let's say you have your datagridview in this form. You should define a delegate in this class. Focus on the lines in red color. public partial class Form1 : Form { public delegate void PassDataGridData(string text); public PassDataGridData MyGridData; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void dataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { if (e.RowIndex return; DataGridViewRow dr = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex]; string data = ""; foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in dr.Cells) { if(cell.Value != null) data += cell.Value.ToString() + ","; } if (MyGridData != null) MyGridData(data); } } Form2 -------- Then the other form. Let's say you want to display the text comes from datagridview in a text box in form2. public partial class Form2 : Form { public Form2() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form1 a = new Form1(); a.MyGridData = new Form1.PassDataGridData(GridData); a.Show(); } public void GridData(string text) { textBox1.Text = text; } } That's all. You can slightly change this code to match your exact requirement. But I hope this will help you. If you still have problem, please let me know.
