Pre-populating a Form

Question

Is it possible to lauch a windows form and pass it some data that it should use to pre-fill controls with? I'm thinking almost like a data-edit form, like if you have controls representing a row of a database table, and you want the user to edit the fields in text boxes etc. Form.Show( ) or Form.ShowDialog( ) dont allow you to send parameters to the form :-( Any ideas?
