Access class from another form

Question

I\'m struggling to get a class from a different form without making it static, here\'s what I want to do:

//First form
public partial class SetupScreen : For         


        

Answer 1

You could pass a reference of your first form to your second form, or (what I would do), create a public Battleship property on your second form and pass your object that way.

//First form
public partial class SetupScreen : Form
{
    Control myObject;
    public Battleship myBattleship;

    public SetupScreen()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        //Create Class Object
        myBattleship = new Battleship();

        Form gameForm = new GameScreen(); // New form object
        gameForm.MyBattleship = myBattleship; // Set property
        gameForm.Show(); // Show form
    }
}

//Second form 
public partial class GameScreen : Form
{
    Control myObject;
    Battleship fredBattleship;

    public BattleShip MyBattleship { set; get; }

    public GameScreen()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}
