Most straight-forward way is to define a constructor with parameters:

Public Sub New(Byval SomeParam As String, Byval SomeOtherParam As Integer)

MyBase.New()

m_SomeVariable = SomeParam
m_SomeOtherVariable = SomeOtherParam

End Sub

How do I pass parameters to a form?

[rguti]

Thanks for your help and excuse my ignorance, I'm very new at this:

So I put this code on the Declarations, right? Basically the MyBase.New() is
the entry point?

Let's say I want to pass 2 parameters:

I call it like this?

Me.Myform.Show(Parameter1,Parameter2)

The code I showed should be in the form you wish to show. Let's call that
class ParameterForm.

You can then call it from anywhere else like this

Dim frmParams as new ParameterForm("Try this", 17)
frmParams.Show()


There are a multitude of variations on this theme. You can add the
parameters to a ShowWithParameters() method, or create a static method
that both creates an instance and shows it.
