[RESOLVED] [2005] How do you pass a structure to another form

[jmcilhinney]

Thanks for your reply. I've made the following changes, and the error has moved to somewhere else.

• I've created a module, and I've put the Products structure in it, and I've removed it from everywhere else.
• I've put the strProducts declaration in the module as public, too.

The error is now here:

Public Class DisplayResultsWindow

    Public WriteOnly Property ProductsOutOfBalance() As List(Of Products)
        Set(ByVal value As List(Of Products))

            ....

        End Set
    End Property

and reports:

Again, you shouldn't be declaring the structure inside any other type, including a module. Declare it in its own code file. It's a type, just like a class or a module. Treat it like any other type and declare it in its own code file. Don't nest it inside any other type unless you have a specific reason for doing so.

As to your issue, I'm guessing that your module is declared Friend, so any types declared inside it are also Friend. You can't then expose a Friend type via a Public variable. If a type cannot be seen from outside the assembly then how can an instance of the type?
