How to make the ShowDialog method return a custom object

Everyone else probably already knows this but I just needed a form to return an object as a result and so I found a way to do it. Before I've used delegates to call a method when the form was closing or used a ByRef variable, however the delegate isn't ideal for most situations and the ByRef sometimes didn't work. So this is an example of Shadowing the ShowDialog method to return your own object instead of DialogResult. I hope someone finds it useful. You could also use this method for a custom MsgBox which came up here not too long ago.

Hi Edneeis

I've been working with this all day (I just got 2003 .NET yesterday) and kept getting StackOverload errors in the calling form. I was not aware of the MyBase keyword so I was using what I knew, which as you might of guessed, was Me. Changed it and all is well.

Did I say Thank You? :D
