Passing variables between windows forms in VS 2010

Question

I have two forms. Form 1 allows the user to pick an employee from a dropdown combo box. That employee is then passed onto Form 2 where the user enters additional information

Answer 1

I am late but I think this answer can help.

For example, Form1 named "menu" opens and passes variable to Form2 named "ordine". The variable to pass is "hotel"

In menu on button_click

Dim ordinef As New Ordine()

If ordinef Is Nothing Then
    'control that form is not opened yet if open close before
    ordinef = New Ordine()
Else
    ordinef.Close()
    ordinef = New Ordine()
End If

ordinef.hotel = hotel

ordinef.Show()

In Form2 (Ordine):

Private Sub Ordine_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

public hotel as string

msgbox hotel

That's it!!
