two different objects, VB use just one

i have to object of the same type, but when i set a property of one of them, the VB puts the property on both.

Anybody knows why??

Thank you,

Sounds like a they both reference the same object. Post some code or do a search for the difference between reference-type variables and value-type variables.

VB Code:

Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
 
        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()
 
        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
        horario_ponta_ativo = False
        ReDim gerador(2)
    End Sub
 
Dim gerador() As ModbusOCX.Modbus_OCX
 
Private Sub Supervisório_Terra_load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
        For i As Integer = 0 To 1
            gerador(i) = New ModbusOCX.Modbus_OCX
        Next
 
        gerador(0).config_Porta = ModbusOCX.Modbus_OCX.ValoresPorta.COM3
        gerador(0).abre_porta()
 
        gerador(1).config_Porta = ModbusOCX.Modbus_OCX.ValoresPorta.COM4
        gerador(1).abre_porta()
 
        relogio.Start()
        gerador_ponta.Start()
 
    End Sub

i hope that this could help you to help me!!!

Huh I'm not sure you set them both to new objects in your loop so it should be fine. So you are saying that gerador(0).config_Porta equals ModbusOCX.Modbus_OCX.ValoresPorta.COM4 instead of COM3? Is that how are you testing that they are set to the samething? This could be an issue with this particular object? Is it derived from an OCX or ActiveX object (hence the OCX in the name)?

yeah, this project i have upgraded from VB6, but i use it in my application like gerador1 and gerador2 now, and it worked fine!

maybe it get lost because i was trying to use as array or something!

Thanks for your help!!
