Answer to Question #31452 in Visual Basic for owen

Question

I have two forms, Parent and Child. How can I pass this string into the Child form:

Private Sub mnuMerge_ItemClick(ByVal sender As System.Object) Handles Button.ItemClick
Dim TemplateIn As String = "Hello <CustomerName>"
End Sub


Into the Parent Form here:

Public Sub MergeTemplate(ByVal TemplateIn As String)
MsgBox(TemplateIn)
End Sub

I am geting this error (Object reference not set to an instance of an object) for this code:

Private Sub mnuMerge_ItemClick(ByVal sender As System.Object) Handles Button.ItemClick
Dim TemplateIn As String = "Hello <CustomerName>"
Parent.MergeTemplate(TemplateIn)
End Sub
