Passing a parameter to a form

[Jay1b]

Could someone please explain to me how i can pass a parameter to a from being called? I know how to do it with functions easily enough, i know i could just create a public variable - but i would like to pass the parameter directly to the form to make it a lot less messy.

 

Thanks.

You don't have to use a string array, that's just an example, you could use whatever you like... to execute:

newForm = new myForm(myParameter)

 

Other forms class code:

C#:

public class myForm

{

myForm(string [] args)

{

 

}

}

VB:

Public Class myForm

Sub New(args() As String)

 

End Sub 'New

End Class 'myForm

I could of swore that is exactly what i tried! Perhaps i missed something. I will try again :)

 

Thanks.

If it doesn't work paste your code in the calling form that does the calling and paste you class constructor of the callee form and we'll help you.
