What's missing in all of this is the fact that you have a *specific* web service, you're not writing one, and you've yet to post any code. What does the code in the web service proxy class look like for hte method ?

( Form 1 )
Dim frm2 As New form2
Public Sub ClearProject()
frm2.TextBox1.Visible = False
frm2.Hide()
End Sub
( Form 2 )
Dim frm1 As form1
Public Sub Button1_Click(Byval sender as System.Object,Byval e as EventArgs)Handles Button1.Click)
frm1.ClearProject()
End Sub
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' has occurred
Addtional Information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Anyone knows why there is such an error?

I presume you are trying to reference frm1 (as a form1 object) from the form 2 code yet you have neither created a new instance of the form via Dim frm1 as New form1 (an explicit Set frm1 = New form1 in the frm2 Load event would be better) nor passed a reference to it to the frm2 object.
The code sample you've provided also shows that you have a circular reference between the two forms. Not a good idea.

I assume you're showing this modelessly ?

This is a new instance of Form1, not the one that created form2. You should use delegates to do this sort of thing, or otherwise, you need to pass the instance of Form1 into Form2.

frm1 is my main form, and it will call frm2. I will get the error after i click the button that is in frm2. I tried (Dim frm1 As New form1) but it will only give another error.
Sorry but i still don't understand where the problem lies..

Of course, that's a NEW Form1. You need to pass the existing Form1 in as a function parameter, so it's the same one that holds the Form2 instance.

Erm..so how do I do that?
|
|
|

In Form2
private Form1 form1 = null'
private Form2(){} // Private constructor so it cannot be called
public Form2(Form1 parent)
{
form1 = parent
}
That's C# without ;, you need to convert it into VB. Then you create the instance of Form2 from Form1, passing in this ( is it Me in VB ? ). Or, the nicer way, is to set up delegates so that Form2 fires an event to Form1 to ask it to do whatever.

Form2 really shouldn't know about or be doing anything with Form1 in the first place. It's just not good OOP practice.
' Form2 code
Public Class Form2
Public parentForm As Form
Private Sub ......whatever......
parentForm.whateverFunctionOrProperty
End Sub
End Class
' Form1 code
Dim myNewForm As New Form2
myNewForm.parentForm = Me
myNewForm.Show()

Agreed - but surely having a system where form1 is a property, and not a constructor argument, and then requiring it to be set, is even worse ?
This question is asked so many times, and I always say that the way to go is to use events, but no-one ever seems to care...

I agree with you, but it's simpler to understand and explain to someone new to the world.

I guess, but I thought the 'pass a copy of the form to the constructor' solution was ugly enough

I wasn't sure what to use for my project, thus i used 2 forms.
(My project)
In my main form, I choose a test. A new form(?) appears to allow the user to type some details about the test in a textbox. Then I can click a Save button, that is on the new form(?), to save the details.
I thought using a new form was ok, but if it is considered bad practice, any suggestions to what other ways are there? I have the SaveTest() method in my main form, but when I use frm1.SaveTest() on that Save button to call the method from my main form, I get that error. Hope what I'm saying makes sense

And I'm using Vb.Net..
This is my first graded project for Vb.Net as well, so yeah..i appreciate any help thanks! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi
Use ByRef instead of ByVal and pass the form which you want to call and then check out

Of course it is, how else would you do it ?

No, passing one form to another is bad practice. Using a delegate to call one form from another is much nicer.

Because it's not the same Form1 that created Form2, it's an uninitialised form variable. Like I said.
Passing the same instance is a quick fix, setting up an event is much nicer, but a little more code. MSDN for delegates to get the idea.

Mark, have you considered the Rich Edit control? This accepts text in RTF format which may do what you want.
