You can expose a property on the second window, so that the first window can retrieve it.
public class Window1 : Window
{
...
private void btnPromptFoo_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var w = new Window2();
if (w.ShowDialog() == true)
{
string foo = w.Foo;
...
}
}
}
public class Window2 : Window
{
...
public string Foo
{
get { return txtFoo.Text; }
}
}
