Getting Data from form to class file in C# Windows Form Application

Question

I have a form with form.cs file and another separate class file named car.cs. In my form I have a textbox named textbox1. Now in the separate class file I have defined a variable as follows with its property :

private string carMake;

public string CarMake
{
    get { return carMake; }
    set { carMake = value; }
}

how can I set carMake value to the textbox1.text value by the get and set methods.

Answer 1

Typically I data bind the domain object property to the Winforms control field. See Data binding for TextBox

Of course you can set it directly as well.

Example:

void buttonSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    car.CarMake = textBox1.Value;

    // ... save car object to database
}

Answer 2

public  void SetValue()
{     
  car objCar=new car(); 
  objCar.carMake=textbox1.Text; 
}

just try this.
