Answer 1

I don't remember the full path, but Globalization in System might be able to help. it should allow you to access other files in your code from there

Answer 2

Are you sure this is a step in the right direction? From msdn documentation it seems that system.globalization contains classes for different regions, calendars etc.

Answer 3

wait no, I'm wrong. add the form to the namespace. should be accessable then.

Answer 4

the class and form see in the same namespace.

Answer 5

they're both in the same name space? and you can't make an object for the class?

Answer 6

they're both in the same namespace and I can't access values from datagridview (public partial class form1) from another class. let's say class MyClass.

Answer 7

oh yeah, no. I'm pretty sure all its methods are protected. I don't think windows wants you editing the form dynamically.

I probably found the solution here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/a5e3b46e-8d45-4c45-a3d6-20a25b746825/accessing-form1-controls-from-a-different-class?forum=winforms I tried something similar at work today which worked for a simpler project I wrote to test, but that solution didn't functioned properly in my real project. I'll find out tomorrow an will let you know how it went.

Answer 9

thanks. I'm curious.

Answer 10

I can confirm that my last post was the solution. Great workday today 😁
