    Referencing An Object On Another Form [RESOLVED]

    I want to reference a control on a another form.

    In VB6, you could do this with "Form1.Control1" but the objects belonging to Form1 don't appear in .NET.

    I have tried changing the .NET generated declaration of the control from "Friend" to "Public" but that didn't work either.

    I resolved this by declaring the first form as Public and giving the instance of the form a different name to the form's class:

    Public frmMain As New Form1

    I am then able to reference the form's objects from any other form with "frmMain."
