how can i capture my user control value on button click using a method ????

Hi

i have created winforms project using the MVC concept in C#.. i created a model which include the method to insert user control captured value from text box and i created a class to set and get the value entered. and created a button in the user control.. my problem is when i click on create button on user control i keep getting null vale from that text box although there are some value entered in the text box:

my method  like this 

    public Route CreateRouteFromText(UCRouteCreate form)
    {

        string routecode =form.txtRouteCode.Text;
        

        Route route = new Route();
        return route;
    }

my button click event :

 private void btnCreateRoute_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        UCRouteCreate form = new UCRouteCreate();
            Route route = controller.CreateMovieFromText(form);
            controller.InsertRoute(route);

    }

my class for setter and getter:

 class Route 
    {
        public string routeCode ;
        public string Routecode
        {
            get
            {
                return routeCode;
            }
            set
            {
                routeCode = value;
            }
        }
        public Route( )
    {
    }

i do show the the user control from a strip menu click method like this:

 private void createRouteToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DisplayControl(ucCreateroute);
        }

my question is when i click on the strip menu button to show the user control do i need to initialize the new shown user control !

and if i can initialize the user control in the method to get the current value in the text box so when i click on create button the insert method should show the new vale instead of null how can i go about doing that as this issue is driving me insane...
