Passing multiple String.Format()

[kayleigh]

I was fed up of having a duplicate method side by side so merged them into one. Both sent a request to another class.

Private _messageFormats() As String = { _
             String.Format(RegistrySettings.PMessageData, Identity, Topic, Body, RegistrySettings.ServerCookieToken), _
             String.Format(RegistrySettings.ThreadData, Topic, Body, RegistrySettings.ServerCookieToken)}

The issue comes because Identity, topic, body are all member variables declared at run time. and when sending the string.format to another method, Them three ate null since they are already set

any solutions?
