Interacting with a UserControl

[Chrisy]

Hi everyone, I want to make a usercontrol that I can then use on my project form, and then interact with it.
(for example, get the result of a calculation that was made in the user control and then make futher calculations on my form)
I basicly know how to make a Usercontrol, by not how to use the information that it derives for further use.
Hope I are explaining this clearly,
Thanks

Just like any other class, you expose data in a UserControl either via a property or as the result of a method.

I remember using the property in vb6, but was a long time ago, and can not find any info on it, can you recomend the best method

It's not "the property". It's just properties. You use properties all the time. When you create a form and add controls, you configure them in the Properties window. Those are all properties you're setting, e.g. the Text of a form or control. There is a ton of information out there on properties in VB and it's would be very hard not to find it, unless you were searching for "funny cats".
