Hey, have you tried using my.settings?

You are going to want to utilize creating strings and integers in the my.settings page first. Then you can simply do things like

my.settings.examplestring = "Hello World"
my.settings.save

Then reload the settings in your second form

my.settings.load

Also, you may just want to work with control boxes and keeping your data localized in one form.

May I ask what is it that you are working on so I may provide you with a better answer.

If you have a Refresh() method on your parent form, which you are trying to call then you can do this

Dim frmParent as Form1 = Ctype(application.OpenForms("instanceNameOfForm1"), Form1)
frmParent.Refresh()

If you mean you have data on the child form which you want to be made available to the parent form then do this

Dim frmForm2 as new Form2
frmForm2.ShowDialogue()

Dim myvar as string = FrmForm2.SomePublicProperty()

Immediately after the Form2 has been closed, you can still access its public properties as shown above.

just fresh your data after the dialogue box (form b) closes.

Dim frmForm2 as new Form2
frmForm2.ShowDialogue()
 
RefreshData()

just fresh your data after the dialogue box (form b) closes.

Dim frmForm2 as new Form2
frmForm2.ShowDialogue()
 
RefreshData()

what is the coding for vb.net 2008??

 

[Lotok]

That is VB, but you need to have created a refreshdata method.
