I am trying to pass the name field from my contestantsbo to my child form just for information on my child form by putting the name in a label on my child form. This is the code I am using on my parent form. Private Sub btneditdata_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btneditdata.Click 'Me.ChildFormDialog1.ShowDialog() Dim frm As childform = New childform frm._cnames = Me._cname If Me.ChildFormDialog1.ShowDialog = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then SrswtdPointsBO1.Save() Else SrswtdPointsBO1.Undo(MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessUndoType.AllRows) End If End Sub Private ReadOnly Property _cname() As String Get Return Me.ContestantsBO1.InvertedName End Get End Property This is the code I am using on my child form. Friend WriteOnly Property _cnames() As String Set(ByVal value As String) Label6.Text = value End Set End Property I put a break point on this line Label6.Text = value and 'value' has the exact info I want to display But it does not show up on the label on my form. Please see attached picture of my child form. Attachments childform.PNG (91 views, 36.00 KB)
