What I have tried:

Button from second form

C#

{
	if (Candidate.Count == 0)
	{
		MessageBox.Show("There is nothing to update.");
	}
	else
	{
		FrmUpdate my = new FrmUpdate();
		icnt1 = DGTrainee.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
		my.TraineeUpdate = Candidate[icnt1];
		my.ShowDialog();
		Candidate[icnt1] = my.TraineeUpdate;
	}
} 


public partial class frm3Update : Form
{
	public frm3Update()
	{
		InitializeComponent();
	}

	private Trainee mUpdateTrainee;
	public Trainee TraineeUpdate
	{
		get { return mUpdateTrainee; }
		set { mUpdateTrainee = value; }
	}


	private void frm3Update_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		txtName.Text = TraineeUpdate.Name;
		txtSurname.Text = TraineeUpdate.Surname;
		nudAge.Value = TraineeUpdate.Age;
		txtTrainingExp.Text = TraineeUpdate.Experience;
		txtGender.Text = TraineeUpdate.Gender;
	}

	private void btnUpdateTrainee_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		TraineeUpdate.Name = txtName.Text;
		TraineeUpdate.Surname = txtSurname.Text;
		TraineeUpdate.Gender = txtGender.Text;
		TraineeUpdate.Age = Convert.ToInt32(nudAge.Value);
		TraineeUpdate.Experience = txtTrainingExp.Text;
		this.Close();
	}
}

The code does not run as the compiler error is pretty clear and preventing the code from compiling.

Here is the official documentation on the Compiler Error CS0053 (C#)[^]

Quote:
A public construct must return a publicly accessible object. For more information, see Access Modifiers (C# Programming Guide)[^].

So, "property type 'Trainee' is less accessible than property 'frm3Update.TraineeUpdate'" is say that this is your problem:

C#

private Trainee mUpdateTrainee;
public Trainee TraineeUpdate
{
    get { return mUpdateTrainee; }
    set { mUpdateTrainee = value; }
}

The Traniee class (not provided) is not marked with a public accessor.
