I need some help figuring out how to use properties:
I have this property in a class:
I set the property like this in a different class: Class frmSearch
and I want to access the property from even another class: Class frmExempt
My problem is with the last set of code:
I've tried:
Dim objBidID as ErvID
objBidID = New ErvID '' But this starts a new instance of ErvID class hence the value in the property is gone
and the above code block simply doesn't return the property in the frmExempt form. I know the property is works in the frmSearch Class but whay can't I get it using the same instance of the ErvID class to work in the frmExempt class.
So I have 2 forms: frmSearch and frmExempt and 1 Class ErvID. ErvID is where the property is located. and I need to Set its value from frmSearch and Get the properties value from frmExempt. If this makes any sense?
I've read Shaggys tut on this but am still lost. can someone help me understand this. BTY there is a easier way using a constructor, passing in the id when frmExempt is created but I am really confussed on that approach, and I'm using the default instance anyway.
I have this property in a class:
Code:
Public Class ErvID
Private BidID As String
Public Property ErvID() As String
Get
Return BidID
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
BidID = value
End Set
End Property
End ClassCode:
Private Sub BidBindingSource_PositionChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BidBindingSource.PositionChanged
Dim objBidID As ErvID
Dim newID As String
objBidID = New ErvID
Dim row As ERVDataSet.BidRow
row = CType(CType(Me.BidBindingSource.Current, DataRowView).Row, ERVDataSet.BidRow) ''Get the current row of the bid DGV
Dim ErvID As String = row.BidID ''Get the BidID from DGV
objBidID.ErvID = ErvID ''Set value to property
newID = objBidID.ErvID ''Get value from propertyCode:
