C# on doubleclick open app and paste field data

Question

Question, I have two applications. I set a doubleclick event on the first one that opens app called employees. I want to copy the data in label1 from application one onto the txtone of the second application and hit the run button.

This is the code i have for opening the 2nd app but i cant figure out how to compile the rest. Any suggestions would be great!

Process Employees= new Process();           
Employees.StartInfo.FileName = "F:\\Employees.exe";     
Employees.Start();

You can pass the data with arguments like this:

Employees.StartInfo.Arguments = your_argument

In your employee app you can retrieve the data in the Program class Main method with the args parameter.

private static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application.Run(new FormMain(args)); //pass arguments to main form
}

doesn't sound like a particularly neat solution however have you considered adding arguments to the start
