C# getting status of checkbox from a different class

you can do this in c# as simple as vb.net
but only trick is that in c# controls are private by default
you must click on check box in your form, and in properties window set access modifier to Internal or Public
and build project again
then you can access through the code like this: frmMain.chkBox1.Checked

That actually didn't work for me, although upon more research I think i've solved my problem. I need to instantiate a new object of frmMain in my new class.. like this ..

private frmMain main = new frmMain();

now I can access chkBox1 through main.chkBox1.Checked

Thanks for points,

@reza_rad,

In VB.Net you don't actually manually instantiate the "startup object" as you do in C# inside program.cs.  Instead, the Application Framework starts your app for you, and passes what is known as the "default instance" of the form designated as the startup object to the message pump.  It behaves similar to the singleton pattern so you can access it form anywhere in the app using just the Form name.

To the author's requirement:

    "I need to access the value of those check boxes and other controls from a different class."

For that you would pass an instance of your form itself into the Class.  THEN your suggestion of changing the Modifiers property comes into play as you can't see the controls by default.  =)

Thanks for your explanation, In fact I hadn't similar experience in this manner on vb.net. your comment was helpful, I appreciate it.
