Best way to access a control on another form in Windows Forms?

by

Instead of making the control public, you can create a property that controls its visibility:

public bool ControlIsVisible
{
     get { return control.Visible; }
     set { control.Visible = value; }
}

This creates a proper accessor to that control that won’t expose the control’s whole set of properties.
