How do I get a label in a form to display the values of a property










0














In my C# windows form I have 2 forms. I would like to display a collection of strings in a label on a form. When I debug I show the 2 elements in my array but they are not showing in the label I am passing it to. When I hover of toString the data is there but how to I pass it to sender so it will display in the label control I have on my form?



Details of what I am trying to pass



In the snippet of code below to data is in toString but how do I get it from there down to sender.ToString????



 public AccountReport_cs(Func<string> toString)

this.toString = toString;




private void AccountReport_cs_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)


label1.Text = sender.ToString();



This is another piece of the code that will open form2 where the information should be displayed.



 private void reportButton2_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

AccountReport_cs accountReport = new AccountReport_cs(allTransactions.ToString);
accountReport.ShowDialog();



Here is the last piece of code and this will show how the data gets to EndOfMonth.



 public class Transaction

public string EndOfMonth get; set;


public override List<Transaction> closeMonth()

var transactions = new List<Transaction>();
var endString = new Transaction();

endString.EndOfMonth = reportString;
transactions.Add(endString);

return transactions;

          If you need to send information between forms, the best thing you can do is create a property in the target form and assign the value you want to send before displaying the form; thus you will not need to change the default constructor of the form.



          // Destiny form
          public partial class FormDestiny : Form
          // Property for receive data from other forms, you decide the datatype
          public string ExternalData get; set;

          public FormDestiny()
          InitializeComponent();
          // Set external data after InitializeComponent()
          this.MyLabel.Text = ExternalData;



          // Source form. Here, prepare all data to send to destiny form
          public partial class FormSource : Form
          public FormSource()
          InitializeComponent();


          private void SenderButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          // Instance of destiny form
          FormDestiny destinyForm = new FormDestiny();
          destinyForm.ExternalData = PrepareExternalData("someValueIfNeeded");
          destinyForm.ShowDialog();


          // Your business logic here
          private string PrepareExternalData(string myparameters)
          string result = "";
          // Some beautiful and complex code...
          return result;
