Answer 1

Best thing would be to create a property for it.

Try this

public partial class Form3 : Form
{
    int _port;
    public int Port
    {
       get { return _port; }
       set { _port = value; }
    }
}

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
       InitializeComponent();
    }

    void menu1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Form2 frq = new Form2();
        frq.Show();
        Form3 frm3 = new Form3();
        frm3.Port = 8080;

        MessageBox.Show("{0} server is online ", frm3.Port);
    }

}
