title: C# Adding array list values to combo box from one form to another
body: <p>I would like to take the values of an array list taken from a seperate form and add them to a combobox on another form. I have tried this in form2. </p>
  
  <pre><code>foreach (string fname in newname)
  {
      form1.comboBox1.Items.Add(fname);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it doesn't send the values to the combo box. Now if I add this on form1</p>
  
  <pre><code>base.AddOwnedForm(form2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this on form2</p>
  
  <pre><code>Form1 form1=(Form1)this.Owner
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it works but form1 will hide itself and also won't close when you click on the "X" button. (this seems to be an inherited property of form2).</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be great!</p>
