How to access Form1 controls from another class?
Hi all c#corner forums,
I'm trying to create my class, but I couldn't succeed to work this code. When I run program, newSerial.sendData() in the Form1.Load() (this is my function which is in my own class) works perfectly, but when I clicked the button (you can see the code, I'm calling the same function) program throws "NullReferenceException" error. What is the solution?
[CODE]
namespace robitSeri
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public mySerial newSerial;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { mySerial newSerial = new mySerial(this); newSerial.sendData();
// THIS WORKS EXCELLENTLY..
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
newSerial.sendData();
// THIS CODE DOES NOT WORK!!!
}
// this is original class which is automatically created when
// I create new Windows Form application
// And I can control everything when I'm coding in this class
}
public class mySerial // this class created by me
{
private Form1 frm;
public mySerial(Form1 newFrm)
{
this.frm=newFrm;
}
public void sendData()
{
frm.serialPort1.Write(sth);
}
// I can't reach Form1 controls from this class.
}
[/CODE]
