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 must use singleton pattern. so your code must be like this:

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

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

//Launch second form 
public partial class GameScreen : Form
{
 Control myObject;
 Battleship myBattleship;
 Battleship fredBattleship;

 public GameScreen()
 {
    InitializeComponent();
    //Get the class
    SetupScreen ssFrm=SetupScreen.setupScreenFrm;
    myBattleship = ssFrm.myBattleship;
 }
}

and first of all, in the start of your app, create an instant of SetupScreen form.

now you can access to SetupScreen in anywhere.
