I have a string on my main form called String1. When I open another form, I need access to this value. In the form I open, I have always done something like:Dim NewString as String = Main.String1
This has worked in the past. Well, I ended up renaming my forms (from Form1 to Main) in the property window and it now when I type the above code, it does not list Main as a form. Nothing that I renamed seems to exist now.
I have the following code:
Public Function StoreFields()
Dim Lockbox, Cash_Deposit_Date, Batch_Number
Lockbox = Xdocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:tbl_GC100/@Lockbox").Text
[code].....
I have tested the variables in the Functions and the are correct.
In vb.net, you can address a public variable from another form using the form name along with the variable.
form2.show
form2.k = 3
However, if you use a form variable to show an instance of the form, you must use that variable name to address the public variable. Two instances of the same form are displayed in the following example. The public variable k is assigned a value of 3 only in the first instance of the form, the one from form2.show. frm.k can be used to assign a value to the other form.
dim frm as new form2
form2.show
frm.show
form2.k = 3
Assuming only one instance of the form is shown in the application, is it reliable to address a public variable using the form name (form2.k), or is it better to show the form with a form variable and use that to refer to the instance of the form (frm.k)? Would the same answer apply to a property as well as a public variable?

View 2 RepliesI've created a 30 point wizard. Every step gathers between 1 and 3 variables. I've created a module and publicly declared the variables there. At the end of the wizard, one master form opens, gets all the variables, and displays them on one form. At this point calculations are run too which populates more variables. This works fine for one instance of the process.
the user may want to be running two instances of the wizard at once. Obviously, if the previous wizard is part complete and they start a new one, the variables are going to get crossed or replaced by the new wizard.Is there a way for the variables to be declared publicly but used in multiple instances?
I have a variable declared at Public on a form. But when I try to access it in a module I get an error that its not declared.

This seems basic but here's my problem. I am trying to build my connect string as a public variable that will connect to either an express version of SQL Server or a non-express version. The app.config defines it as being express or not and is modified to the user's choosing when it is deployed using the a firstRun routine.
The problem is that even though I'm modifying the value of the variable SQLexpress when the app is initiated which in turn should modify the value of the variable g_strConnectionString it doesn't. The value of g_strConnectionString will always take on the initial value of SQLexpress. I know I can define 2 separate variables for the connection string but I'd prefer not to have to change all of the references throughout each of the various programs in this system as they all have the same issue.
So in the following load event I've traced it and when it sets globals.SQLexpress = "", I then look at the value of g_strConnectionString and it still contains "SQLEXPRESS". It seems I need to somehow force vb to refresh this variable after it's been changed.

I have a MDI application and a very complicated class there which populates its properties from a dataset derived from an external database. Each form, including child forms have to be able to access that class and use its properties thorughout the whole session.I don't know where to 'preserve' these property values within the application. I kmow many books etc. suggest not to use public variables but I really can't find a way to solve this other than to use a public variable (which is a list(of my custom class) in this case.

I have created a public shared subroutine in a class file in asp.net 2 (vb.net) web site app_folder.The subroutine retrives some values from a sql database via an sql query and assigns the datareader field values to several variables The problem is I can't seem to assign the variables from the subroutine to the variables and textbox controls in the asp.net page I am calling the subroutine from. The textbox text value just appear blank.By the way, if I response.write the variables in the subroutine they appear populated by the sql data reader.

Next I want to compare the labelnamestring to all the variables in the public class to find out which one it is equal to and then disply that variable which should be my rs232 string in the message box.

I've got a program that runs from one Windows form, Form1, with stuff declared all in that class: public variables, public functions, subs, etc. I decided that the form was getting cluttered, so I added one button to bring up a new form, Form2, and I put some of the buttons & check boxes for testing over there, so that Form1 can be more visually clean. Problem: when I go to put the code for the tests into the buttons on Form2, none of the public variables or subs or functions that reside in Form1 are visible in Form2. What statement/s do I need to add (and where) so that the public "stuff" that's declared in the class for Form1 is visible within Form2, please?
