Not Getting valuefrom another form

when I click on the button1 on the form1 then I am able to go to form2 but not getting the value in the txtform2 text box.


Here is the code which i am tring
under form1:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim frm As New Form2()
frm.Show()
End Sub


under form2:

Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim frm1 As New Form1()
txtForm2.Text = frm1.txtForm1.Text
End Sub



Reason expected !!

'Dim frm1 As New Form1()' this line of code creates a brand new instance of Form1 so any values you extract from it will be it's default values. You can set up a member variable in Form2 to pass the Value from Form1.

i.e.

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim frm As New Form2()
frm.valueFromFrom1 = Me.txtForm1.Text
frm.Show()
End Sub

---

then in form2

Code:

---

Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
txtForm2.Text = Me.valueFromForm1
End Sub

---

Or you could create a new constructor and pass the text box value when you create the new form 2 like:

VB Code:

Dim frm As New Form2(txtform1.Text)

if you can add it as a constructor parameter, doesn't this make the form incompatible with the form designer?

No its not going to make it incompatiable with designer
