So my program works like this: using winforms, user enters ID number, using an array, based on the right id number, that student information and class schedule outputs in a message box!

My question is how to take the 4 classes in the message box/array and write them to the linklabel text in form 2????

My Getschedule class contains the array and is listed below:

namespace Eagle_Eye_Class_Finder {

public class GetSchedule
{
    IDnumber[] IDnumbers = new IDnumber[3];

    public string GetDataFromNumber(string ID)
    {
        foreach (IDnumber IDCandidateMatch in IDnumbers)
        {

            if (IDCandidateMatch.ID == ID)
            {
                StringBuilder myData = new StringBuilder();
                myData.AppendLine(IDCandidateMatch.Name);
                myData.AppendLine(": ");
                myData.AppendLine(IDCandidateMatch.ID);
                myData.AppendLine(IDCandidateMatch.year);
                myData.AppendLine(IDCandidateMatch.class1);
                myData.AppendLine(IDCandidateMatch.class2);
                myData.AppendLine(IDCandidateMatch.class3);
                myData.AppendLine(IDCandidateMatch.class4);
                //return myData;
                return myData.ToString();
            }
        }
        return "";
    }

    public GetSchedule()
    {
        IDnumbers[0] = new IDnumber() { Name = "Joshua Banks", ID = "900456317", year = "Senior", class1 = "TEET 4090", class2 = "TEET 3020", class3 = "TEET 3090", class4 = "TEET 4290" };
        IDnumbers[1] = new IDnumber() { Name = "Sean Ward", ID = "900456318", year = "Junior", class1 = "ENGNR 4090", class2 = "ENGNR 3020", class3 = "ENGNR 3090", class4 = "ENGNR 4290" };
        IDnumbers[2] = new IDnumber() { Name = "Terrell Johnson", ID = "900456319", year = "Sophomore", class1 = "BUS 4090", class2 = "BUS 3020", class3 = "BUS 3090", class4 = "BUS 4290" };

    }
    public class IDnumber
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string ID { get; set; }
        public string year { get; set; }
        public string class1 { get; set; }
        public string class2 { get; set; }
        public string class3 { get; set; }
        public string class4 { get; set; }


       public static void ProcessNumber(IDnumber myNum)
            {
                StringBuilder myData = new StringBuilder();
                myData.AppendLine(myNum.Name);   
                myData.AppendLine(": ");
                myData.AppendLine(myNum.ID);
                myData.AppendLine(myNum.year);
                myData.AppendLine(myNum.class1);
                myData.AppendLine(myNum.class2);
                myData.AppendLine(myNum.class3);
                myData.AppendLine(myNum.class4);  
                MessageBox.Show(myData.ToString());
            }




    }

}

}

My form 2 which will contain the linklabels is listed below:

public class YOURCLASSSCHEDULE : System.Windows.Forms.Form { public System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel linkLabel1; public System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel linkLabel2; public System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel linkLabel3; public System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel linkLabel4; private Button button1;

    /// Required designer variable.

    public System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

    public YOURCLASSSCHEDULE()
    {

        //
        InitializeComponent();

        // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call

    }

    /// Clean up any resources being used.
    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing)
        {
            if (components != null)
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
        }
        base.Dispose(disposing);
    }

A: 

Move your 4 classes to static objects or business layer. Use business layer to access data across your forms.

Use it like, for instance:

YourBusinessLayer.ScheduleManager manager = new ScheduleManager();

ScheduleManager.Add(new Schedule("Name", "ID", "Class", "Timings"); //Add schedules
List<Schedule> listOfAllSchedules= manager.GetSchedules(); //Get Schedules

manager.Schedule[0].ID
manager.Schedule[0].Name
manager.Schedule[0].Class
//....

Then, access(edit/update) the your schedule manager in your any of your forms.

Btw, just as a site note, a class should'nt(read: cannot) be a GetSchedule; rather a class may contain a method (read: action) called GetSchedule().

okay let me rephrase it i only want to write the classes to the linklabels!!!
JB
my form 2 contains 4 linklabels , i want them to update the lable on the label text links to whatever classes that have been referenced to the array!!
JB
@JB: `i want them to update`; who is 'them' in this case?
KMan
well i decided on trying to implement this business layer now so the business layer is what would write the name of these classes to the linklables...this is a lil difficult for me as i am a lil new to C#!
