Hi could you help me ?

I need to read values from mainform when i am in second form
(form2). i can read values from main form but i have to create 
mainform second time. if i create mainform second time then i 
can not get the values which where entered after creation. So i 
need to get reference to existing mainform. Could you show me i

2-entering some text to textbox1 
3-Button click opening second form(form2).

After the main form has created your second form it should either pass
the values the second form needs or a reference to the second form.

There are a couple of ways of doing this:
- Add them to the seoncd form's constructor (my recommendation)
- Create properties on the second form which can be set
- Create a function on the second form to take the parameters
