Add a public property to the second form and just below the ShowDialog(), sets the form1 label.Text to that property containing the name of the user.

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    string _highestScoreUser = string.Empty;
    public Form2()
    {

    }

    public string HighestScoreUser
    {
        get{ return _highestScoreUser; } 
        set{ _highestScoreUser = value; }
    }
}

In Form1 code after ShowDialog is called like

{
    Form2 form = new Form2();
    form.ShowDialog();
    form1.label.Text = form.HighestScoreUser;    
}

Hope this help

You've created a brand new Form1 object unrelated to the Form1 that is already on the screen. You need to somehow pass a reference to the real Form1 the the secondary form.

can you please help me with some code – Aenu May 04 '11 at 05:00
@Aenu: When you create the best player form you are probably in the main form. Say `new BestPlayerForm(this)` where this is `Form1` and your `BestPlayerForm` constructor can save it for the click handler. – Rick Sladkey May 04 '11 at 05:04
