• I tried this but it gives error.
• List item

var mainForm = Application.OpenForms.OfType<Form1>().Single();
mainForm.URL_BOX.Text();

The Error

CodePudding user response：

You should really post the error that you're getting. This wouldn't compile for me because you are referencing the URL_BOX the wrong way. You can do this:

var mainForm = Application.OpenForms.OfType<Form1>().Single();
string urlBoxText = mainForm.Controls["URL_BOX"].Text;

Notice, also, that .Text does not require parenthesis, as it is a property and not a method.
