This code would be in Form1:

Dim f2 As New Form2

f2.TextBox1.Text = "initial value"

If f2.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
    MessageBox.Show("Final value: " & f2.TextBox1.Text)
End If

f2.Dispose()

I already showed you how to get the value from Form2:

MessageBox.Show("Final value: " & f2.TextBox1.Text)

If you want to display the string in a TextBox instead of a MessageBox then do so. Don't assume that examples will provide a ready-made solution. Examples are intended to illustrate a principle. It's then up tp you to apply that principle to your own set of circumstances. You have code to get the desired string from the dialogue. I'm sure you know how to display a string in a TextBox.
