vb6 and vb.net referencing!!

Back in VB6 you could have two forms in one project and able to access any controls, methods, etc. on one form from the other without any problem...piece of cake!!

In vb.net or C# it isn't that easy. How do you go about doing this in .NET?? There has to be an easy way!!!

Am I missing something????

you're missing the fact that in vb.net the forms you design are all classes instead of instances of objects...

if you set the start object to a form class (from the project properties) one instance of that form will be created automaticly...

if you want to manage yourself the creation of forms, you better start the program in sub main... you should have a sub main preferably in a module like this:

VB Code:

module mainmodule
 
public sub main
  'here you can create as many forms as you want
  dim a as form1
  dim b as form2
 
  'the actual creation goes here
  a= new form1
  b= new form2
 
  'now it's preferable to have a program loop, so the application doesnt stop 
  while <add here a condition for the program to be still running>
    <add here any runtime code>
    'always add this in order for your application to run well
    application.doevents
  end while
end sub
 
end module

i hope you understand....
