Passing values from a Form to a Controller class

I have a controller class that creates an object and then calls a form for
the user to fill in some information that will populate the object with
after the form is closed.  What is the best way for the controller to get
the data the user entered into the form.  Should the controller pass the
object to the form and let the form in the save button assign the text box
fields to the object properties or should the form expose public properties
which the controller can call after the form returns and then the controller
populates the object properties?  Or is there a better way to do it?

The object should be independent of who is using it. It should be passed
between the two, with each class working with the object as needed and
independently.

I like adding properties to the form for things like this.
