Pre-populating a Form

S4E

Is it possible to lauch a windows form and pass it some data that it should use to pre-fill controls with? I'm thinking almost like a data-edit form, like if you have controls representing a row of a database table, and you want the user to edit the fields in text boxes etc. Form.Show( ) or Form.ShowDialog( ) dont allow you to send parameters to the form :-( Any ideas?

Hi again. Hope I understood you - Try to use the Form constructor (public Form1 ()) You can change it as you like, just don't erase the code the editor putted there. You cam also use the Form1_load event, This time parameters are a bit more dificult.
