Get Set vs passing class at init? I have the main form with a list inside and i need to open another form and edit the list in the main. Generally i'm doing something like ...

    public class Form1 : Form
            {
                List&lt;objectType&gt; obj = new List&lt;objectType&gt;();
                private void button_EDIT_BUTTONS_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
                {
                    EDIT_BUTTONS edit_b = new EDIT_BUTTONS(this);
                    edit_b.Show();
                }
            }
      public partial class EDIT_BUTTONS : Form
     {
        Form1 main;
        public EDIT_BUTTONS(Form1 mainP)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            main = mainP;
        }
        button = main.obj.Find(x =&gt; x.ID == object.ID);
............................................................
        //modify button

     }


My question is to pass the main form like this only to expose the list object or i should Create setters and getters in main form ?
You should only pass the list to the second form. If you pass the entire first form you are exposing somethings that wouldn't be best, and coupling the two forms tightly.
