Hello!
You should set the BTNOK event handler in form1's class to public instead of private, this will enable you to call it from form2's class.

Then the code in form 2:

private void BTNYES (object sender, Eventargs e)
[B]
Form1 form1 = new Form1();
form1.BTNOK(sender, e);
[/B]

This should do it, but uses too much resources for the purpose, I think.

Try this, and create a new thread for question about password encryption/decryption.

// in form1 where calling form2
            Form form2 = new Form();
            DialogResult result = form2.ShowDialog();
            if (result == DialogResult.OK) // or whatever result you want to return
            {
                //call your handler to save or whatever
            }

            // inside form2's button handler:
            this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK; // will be returned from form2.ShowDialog()

For password encryption you can use SHA-1. It's actually hashing not encryption, but I think for your purposes it would work fine...

public static string EncryptSHA1(string text, Encoding enc)
{
    byte[] buffer = enc.GetBytes(text);
    SHA1CryptoServiceProvider cryptoTransformSHA1 = 
    new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
    string hash = BitConverter.ToString(
        cryptoTransformSHA1.ComputeHash(buffer)).Replace("-", "");

    return hash;
}

i've changed the class of BTNOK to public but it still inaccessible due to protection area.

}

as in how does this code work?
i only want to encrypt the data in textbox that is previously entered and store in textfile. and where do i put the code in exact. =X I'm quite blur .

If all that form2 does is display the question and allow the user to click one of the buttons then you can use the MessageBox class to do the same thing:

DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to your setting?", "Save before exit?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel);
                if (result == DialogResult.Yes)
                {
                    //save changes
                }

Also, i would avoid making the buttons event handler public, its bad practice. If you really need to access data between forms its better to have a Private Variable on Form2 which can be accessed by Form1 using a Public Property.
