How to use the controls from another form in form I working in.

I have problem, I was using the Visal Basic, and now have to migrate to the C#. Its not a problem. But in first steps with C# I have found a few diferences from VB. One I cant solve. For example in Form1 I have a TextBox1 and a Button1. I enter in TextBox1 "sviec", and click the Button1. Then opens the Form2 with Label1 on it and label says "sviec". In VB the Form2 code looks like this:

Public Class Form2

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Me.Label1.Text = Form1.TextBox1.Text

End Sub

End Class

So how I can translate this Me.Label1.Text = Form1.TextBox1.Text from VB to C#

Thank You!

    If that method is an event handler for the onload of form1 then you can do it like this:

    Form1 form = sender as Form1;
    if(form != null)
    this.Label1.Text = form.TextBox1.Text;
