I would create classes or structures to represent the data being passed, and then create a constructor in the Form class for the Form to be shown that would allow me to pass the information to the class at creation time. I would also expose the information from the class using a property to allow me to retrieve the results after the Form closed. This is a very simple example to help you focus on the ideas at play. How to pass information between various classes and retrieve the information later.

Mark
