Question

I am trying to use inheritance to pass a string from one form to another using a ref.class. Im looking at it and to be honest I think this should work. But when debugging nothing comes up in my settings textBox…

Here is my reference Class:

    class Ref
{

    private String _url;

    public String Sett
    {

        set { _url = value; }
    }
    public String Gett
    {
        get { return _url; }
    }

and I am setting it from the main form and getting it from a settings form

Here is my main Form:

    private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender,WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
        {Ref reff = new Ref();
        this.Text = webBrowser1.Document.Title + " - NHS Cerner Booking Dash";
        textBox1.Text = webBrowser1.Document.Url.ToString();
        reff.Sett = webBrowser1.Document.Url.ToString();

and finally this is my Settings form

    public void load()
    {
        Ref reff = new Ref();
        textBox3.Text = reff.Gett;
    }

Im sure this looks a bit complicated. So to clarify I want to take the URL from the main form and set it to my ref.class and then get it from the Ref.class to set it to a textBox in my Settings form. Thank you for looking.

Answer 1

You don’t need any Ref class for this. In your second form create a public property and while creating that form access this property and assign the value of URL.

Click here to see a post which does similar thing.

In Form2

 public string URL {get; set;}

In Form1

 Form2 theNewForm = new Form2();
 theNewForm.URL = "your url value";
 theNewForm.Show();

Hope this works for you.
