Referencing controls from a module

OK, Everyone, please forgive me here. I have searched this site, look at my three books on VB.Net and can not find the answer. This is most certainly an easy task, I just can not figure it out.

What is the proper syntax for referencing a control on a form from a module or class? Example

Form1.Text1.Text = "this text"

This is the old VB6 way, what is the VB.Net way?

Thanks for your help!

Its exactly the same, you just have to use the reference to the form. If this is something you havent done before then search the forums, as its a hugely popular topic for new .net developers.

As a general help, you shouldnt really have any reason to use modules in this way in .net. They are useful for common funtions and global variables but thats about it.

Grimfort knows a lot more than me. But here's an example:

VB Code:

dim f as new YourFormName
 
f.txtSomething.text = "Howdy!"
