' This sample demonstrates how to pass value between forms.

'  

' There're two common ways to pass value between forms:

' 

' 1. Use a property.

'    Create a public property on the target form class, then we can pass value to the target 

'    form by setting value for the property.

' 

' 2. Use a method.

'    Create a public method on the target form class, then we can pass value to the target 

'    form by passing the value as parameter to the method.
