VB.NET Newbie

I previous projects I used Module.bas to handle most of my code. In VB.NET How do I call these from my forms. For an example

I have a Module called Main.bas and Something.bas. In VB6 I used

Main.DoSomething()
Sonething.AnotherThing()

Also, when I refer to textboxes on the form from the Module I used.

Form1.Textbox1.text = "Hello World."

How would I handle these two examples. Thanks in advance.

Modules are still around in VB.NET, but they have the file extension .vb (Main.vb). To call functions inside your form code, you can just refer to the function name.

For example, if you have a function called DoSomething() in your module, and want to call it just type DoSomething(). No need to refer to the module.

but make sure you declare your function in your bas module at least as Friend

to reference another control or another form from your module, you have to declare a variable as that form....

dim form1 as MyMainForm

then, whatever you do to form1 is actually done to MyMainForm

to change the text of a textbox on MyMainForm for example, do this

VB Code:

dim DummyForm as TheMainForm
 
dummyForm.TextBox1.text = "Van Halen is back, baby!!"

the thing to watch for is scope. read up on that in your help files.
another thing is to not declare it as NEW. that actually creates a new instance of that form and your main one never gets altered.

hope that helps!!

Thanks to all who replied. This will give me the start I need to move from VB6 to VB.NET.
