Regardless of where and how the "other" form is created, the best
method of passing data to a form for display is either by a property
or method of that form. The issue here is "How do I pass data to a
given form?"

In my opinion, public variables (that is global to the whole
application) should rarely be used. It is also my opinion that it is
not a good idea to make UI objects of a form public. It would be
better to create a form or a method for the form that is to accept the
data for display.

"Where" and "how" a form is created will simply determine where your
*reference* to that form is. However, that is a different issue. The
issue of when and where a form is created is "How do I reference a
form I've already created or am about to create?"
