Use variable data from one form for another in v.net

Question

I am writing a program to calculate payrolls for employees. What I need to know is how to get payroll information from variables from one form to another.

The form I need the variable data from is called Timesheet and the form I need the data for is called PayRoll.

When I use the following code:

  lblName.Text = TimeSheet.EmpName

I get the error that EmpName is not a member of EmployeeInfo.Timesheet (the project file the Timesheet is located) after I generated a class for it.

Any ideas to link these forms?

You should post some code where you call the line above. Also, please explain your architecture. Are you showing the forms modally or do you have an MDI structure? — Steve

This is the code I have in TimeSheet Public EmpName As String Public Supervisor As String Public Period As String Public Client1 As String Public Client2 As String Public Contract1 As String Public Contract2 As String Public Project1 As String Public Project2 As String Public BillLevel As String Public BillLevel2 As String Public TotalHours As Double Public PTO As Double Private Sub frmPayroll_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load EmpName = txtEmpName.Text Supervisor = txtSupervisor.Text — compucrazy

Shouldn't be anything wrong with that as long as you are calling the TimeSheet form from the PayRoll form and as long as you have instanciated and retained an instance of that form.

I would expect to see something like:

Dim ts as New TimeSheet
ts.ShowDialog()
' Do whatever you need in the timesheet form to set it.
lblName.Text = ts.EmpName

One thing to note is if you call the Dispose() method you will loose your property.

More information on your problem might be more helpful if this does not answer your question.
