Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Find Dialog by:Anonymous
I'm trying to create a find dialog box and I need to understand this part of .NET (I am an experienced vb6 programmer): - How do i create a variable that can be accessed and modified on two forms? I tried public variables in a module, but they didn't seem to work. - How can I do something like (in vb6) frmMain.txtMain.Text = "HI" . I have searched and searched an I can't understand how to do this! Thank you!

	Hi Newto, > I'm trying to create a find dialog box and I need to understand this part of .NET (I am an experienced vb6 programmer): Make a form and than you can use dim frmdialog as new form2 myvars.myproperty = something 'see below frmdialog.showdialog (you can also test the return value with this) frmdialog.dispose And on Form2 in the load event when you use it as above mytextbox.text = myvars.myproperty > - How do i create a variable that can be accessed and modified on two forms? I tried public variables in a module, but they didn't seem to work. The above method should work, however the nicest way is \\public class myvars Private Shared mVar As String Public Shared Property myproperty() As String Get Return (mVar) End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) mVar = Value End Set End Property End Class /// > - How can I do something like (in vb6) frmMain.txtMain.Text = "HI" . I have searched and searched an I can't understand how to do this! And than the easy one me.text = "HI" I hope this helps? Cor
