Returning values FROM window form

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:
returning values FROM window form
by:Graham Blandford
| Hi all,
Quickie - I hope. I already know how to use a forms New() Sub to receive
parameters from a calling class - but I don;t know how to return values...
Anyone know the recommended method for doing this?
Thanks,
Graham

class that holds all of them and make a property of that class in your
target form.
Before that form closes, set them all...
this.FirstValueYouWantReturned = Whatever;
or me.FirstValueYouWantReturned = Whatever (vb.net)
and repeat this for each varaible. Assume these properties were added to
Form2.
So...
Form2 frm = new Form2(SomeValue, SomeOtherValue);//this means you passed in
two variables
frm.Show();
or Dim frm as Form2 = new Form2(SomeValue, SomeOtherValue)
frm.Show()
now, in form2 set those properties as I showed you above to the values you
want returned
string FirstValue = frm.FirstValueYouWantReturned;
string SecondValue = frm.SecondValueYouWantReturned;
same process for VB.NET at this point.
Or you coudl just create one property of type someClass that contains all of
the variables. Then you set them in the class (remember, it's still a
property of Form2 which is essential to either approach, this just
consolidates it).
then
string FirstValue = frm.SomeObject.FirstValueYouSet;
string SecondValue = frm.SomeObject.SecondValueYouSet;
HTH,
Bill

Add properties to the form and set the property values inside the form.
