I'm new to C# and was wanting to access a method in the main form from

frmMain has a method as such:
public void AddNewForm(string s, int Id)

}



However when I'm in a click event in another form, I cannot see AddNewForm
when addressing frmMain.AddNewForm.

Any one know what I'm I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi Tom,
I am assuming that you want to access an instance of frmMain that will
be running at the time and frm2 is instantiated by some action on
frmMain.
So declare a public variable of type frmMain in frm2 and assign it
when you are instantiating frm2
i.e.
in frm2
public frmMain myFrmMain;

In the appropriate point in frmMain
frm2 f = new frm2();
f.myFrmMain = this;
f.show();
