[RESOLVED] Pass variable to DLL

VS 2008, .NET 2, Win XP

I need help with passing a String variable from App to DLL?

Why: I have App that on UnhandledException needs to call ErrorReport dll, send to that dll some strings like: App name, stack, error... Dll will send through internet this gathered data to me.

I can open Dll, close it, code it, but I can not figure it how to send data to it like VB App name, VB App version, VB App error.message ...
For example I can in my form make a global variable like Public TestGlobal As String and that I can call from anywhere in my app, but how to do it with dll?

Code: I have app and one part of dll created:

VB.Net Code:

'===VB app code:
   'call dll from my form on raising of UnhandledException error
   Dim mySERform As New ErrorReport.frmMain
   '=> i think i must here set the data that i wanna pass to dll?
   'ErrorReport.FrmMain.<NoMethodsHere>
   mySERform.ShowDialog()
 
 
'===DLL 'ErrorReport' code:
Public Class frmMain
   Private DataString As String
 
   Public Property DataString1() As String
        Get
            Return DataString
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            DataString = value
        End Set
   End Property
 
   Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
      '=> here goes the string(s) from VB app transfered to this dll fields
      TextBox1.Text = DataString1 
   End Sub
End Class

is the error report dll under your control or is it a third party? If it's something you have control over, you can do it in several ways... 1) Is to add parameters to your constructor... then apss in what ever info you need. 2) Create properties... after you've created your instance of the class, set the properties, then call what ever method you need to do the further processing.

Code:

---

Dim mySERform As New ErrorReport.frmMain
mySERForm.DataString1 = "HELLO WORLD"
mySERForm.ShowDialog()

VB.Net Code:

'old
   Dim mySERform As New ErrorReport.frmMain
   ErrorReport.FrmMain.<NoMethodsHere>
   mySERform.ShowDialog()
'new
   Dim mySERform As New ErrorReport.frmMain
   mySERform.MethodNameHere
   mySERform.ShowDialog()
