How to pass value from Form1 to Form2

I\'m making a program that generates SQL Server code to use it in my VB.NET program.

I have this first form that contains the connection like you see in picture belo

Answer 1

The simplest way to pass a value from one form to another is to implement the New method on the form you want to pass the value to:

Form1:

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub btnPass_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnPass.Click

        Dim form As New Form2(TextBox1.Text)
        form.Show()

    End Sub

End Class

Form2:

Public Class Form2

    Public Sub New(ByVal value As String)

        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        Label1.Text = value

    End Sub

End Class

Answer 2

This question is a bit confusing, but this is how I would pass a variable from one form to another.

Create a class /w variable.

Public Class Variables

    Public Shared Property imavariable As String
        Get
            Return m_imavariable 
        End Get
        Set(value As String)
            m_imavariable = value
        End Set
    End Property
    Private Shared m_imavariable As String

End Class

Set the variable from form 1... variables.imavariable = string Read the variable from form2.... string = variables.imavariable
