reference obects to each other - bit problem :-(

[fabianus]

I have a class called "Class1" and a class "Class2".

I want to create an instance of each and reference them to each other.

So what I do is:

Public Class Class1
    Dim myClass2 as new Class2
 
    Sub new ()
        myClass2.set_myClass1(Me)
End Sub
 
End Class
 
Public Class Class2
    Dim myClass1 as new Class1
 
    Public Function set_myClass1 (ByRef myObject as Class1)
        myClass1 = myObject
End Function
End Class

So the problem is that once I did myClass2.set_myClass1(Me) in Class1 the instance of Class1 is not referenced, but copied in Class2. So if I make any changes in the instance of Class1, the myClass1 in Class2 does not change!

Thank you very much for any advice as this is a major problem for my application.

Just for the story: in fact I need this to create a general "persistancyObject", that saves Objects to a relational db. If anybody is interested in this – or even could give some critic, your welcome and I'll post the code. But it is a bit complicate as you'll see…

Anyway, if someone could help me with the upper referencing problem, I would be more than glad!

Regards,
Fabian

I don't know what all behind this, but i'll suggestion you to declare all your Class in a module and handle them there. Without cross referencing it from the inside of each class ...

Looks like you're creating a new instance of Class1 in class2. Try dimming class1 w/o the new operator.
