I mustve read over 20 threads so far that Ive googled about accessing form elements from another form in the quest to answer this issue, and the most common reply that I came across is JFGIY (Just Effing Google It Yourself). So in my defense I would
like to say that Ive tried googling this a half a dozen ways and I cant really think of any other way to put it that might turn up better hits. I digress; here is my problem.

Ive got an application that Im building whose parent form has a List of custom classes that I need to try to access from the child form. At the same time, I need to be able to access CheckListBox elements from the parent form, and I need to be able
to pass back from child to parent some modified versions of all of the above. Its basically a form that opens for editing some of the details on the primary form, where it is not aesthetically correct to have the editing options available.

Most of the detailed discussions Ive come across mention that you have to designate a variable (I hope thats the right word in this case) as the name/type form that you have created for each one and then you can access its members via the dot operator as
per standard OOP. Unfortunately I find that when I have each form with a section in their respective code declaring a variable to be equal to a new form of the other forms type that this causes a StackOverflowException or something of the like.

For now Ive made the editing options on my application unavailable; obviously this is not the solution that I am looking for. Can anybody help my poor quality of google-fu and point me in the direction of a resource that will handle this case, and/or
help me to understand a solution to this situation a little bit better?

Thank you in advance, I appreciate any pointers you may be able to offer.
