C# Refresh Underlying form data

I am working on a C# winforms application.

I have Form1 and Form2.

On Form1, I have Label1. I open Form2 by clicking on a button on Form1 (Form1 remains open as well).

When I close Form2, or perform another method on Form2, I would like to refresh the text in Form1.Label1.

Can anyone help me with the code to do this.

Thanks.

you need to implement delegate and event in this case
in form2 closing event you will raise an event which will be handled by a hanlder for the event and delegate in form1
please go through the following link as its implemeting something similar to your requirements

hi suggestion why dont u use events when u close form 2 fire an event which is handled in form1
when the event is fired , the event handler will have code to change the label1's text

klace06

you dont need delegates only if u are passing event values can be done without delegates
