Accessing FORM components from a module

[tgo57]

How do I access components from a module.

e.g.

I have Form1 with that uses AxInet1 component.

In a module I want to access that component. In VB6 all you did was:

With Form1.Inet1
.cancel
.Protocol = icFTP
.URL = "myURL.net"
.UserName = "username"
.Password = "password"
End With


The FORM1.INet1 doesn't exist in .NET so how do get it?

Thanks for your help!

mform.inet1.

[PT Exorcist]

ah...but u shouldnt use iNET in .NET! use system.net.sockets instead...!

Is this a more reliable feature of .NET?

It is a general rule with .Net to try to use the existing classes if possible. Using COM interop only when necessary. Your adding an extra layer that doesn't need to be there.

If MS decides to port the .Net framework on other platforms besides Windows, then your code will more than likely work if you are using .Net classes and not COM components. I find the chances that .Net will be on other platforms is highly unlikely, but the possiblity is there, and if it happens, you want your code to work.
