There two common methods is used for passing data between forms

The first one is by creating a properties in the form that you want to pass the data on it

for example if you have two forms the the first one (name it Form1) include one textbox control and button , and when pressing button you want to pass the textbox text to the second form (name it Form2)

the property shold be like :

Note these codes in Form2

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

Private _passedText As String
 
Public Property [PassedText]() As String
            Get
                Return _passedText
            End Get
            Set(ByVal Value As String)
                _passedText= Value
            End Set
        End Property

Private _passedText As String Public Property [PassedText]() As String Get Return _passedText End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) _passedText= Value End Set End Property

Then , when you are declaring Object from Form2 you just set The Value before Showing the Form

in the Form1 and in Button1 Click event write these lines :

Dim Obj As New Form2
Obj.PassedText = TextBox1.Text
Obj.Show

Dim Obj As New Form2 Obj.PassedText = TextBox1.Text Obj.Show

by this way you have the text in the Form2 - variable _passedText

hope you get it , if you didnt I am here

The Second Method by Adding parameters to the Form that you need to pass the data on it in Sub New - I didnt like it , the Properties is better


Good Luck
