Question

I have the following issue with a VB.net program I’m finishing off. Basically I have two forms. Form1 and techs. Form 1 loads first and is my ‘main’ page. I want to reference a variable in techs on Form1. I publicly declared this variable as so:

 Public jobID As String

I then reference this on Form1 as so:

Dim job As String = techs.jobID

This is the error I am getting:

An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.  The error is: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.  The error is: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion.  Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'

Can anyone give me an idea of what going wrong here?

Answer 1

try changing

Public jobID As String

to

Public Shared jobID As String
