VB.NET multiple forms and lists

[Adhis]

I have been trying to get help with this for several days. Could somebody please help me? I have already created my forms as follows:
StoreForm: this is the main menu. It has 4 choices. When I click on each of these choices I get a form for each choice. I can then select items to buy from each of these 4 forms. I have no idea how to code my selection so my shopping list appears on a seperate form(SelectionForm). I would also like to delete one item from my shopping list if I choose to. Thanks. Adhis

Temp Tables or public datatable

You should look into creating a temporary Table or a Public DataTable to store the selected items. Since it is shared you can add items from different forms. You can also display the items selected (Shopping Cart) and allow the shopper to add/edit/delete the records. When shopping is complete you could check-out and write the records to the database and send and invoice/sales slip.
All kinds of information and sample code out there for everything I mentioned here.
