No better term than Newb for this I'd imagine... Here goes..
I have an application that I have multiple forms using the same information. 3 different forms use the same data from a dataset, 2 forms use properties I've created in one of the first forms. All of this is done through leaving a form up but hidden and proceeding to another form.
I would like to find something that would allow me to place static information into my application and leave it all shared. If tried to do this with a Class item in Visual Studio however ever instantiation starts the class with no data input. And I can't access the class of course unless I instatiate it. So I'm kind of at a loss. What component, item, or whatever... method perhaps could I employ to have a single location for most of my applications shared data? I've looked at modules but I'm not to sure what a module really is. Most descriptions I've found of modules are vague at best. Every one seems to like name spaces and classes over modules it would seem....
