PLEASE HELP ME! Form single instance???

Question

Ok I have 2 forms (formClassA and formClassB) When my main form (formClassA) loads I want to have THIS instance of the form be used / called upon for the rest of my application. Such that.. . From formClassB I would like to be able to call on a public method in formClassA at any given time without starting a NEW instance of formClassA. I believe that is what is happening now because when I call on one of these methods I am getting a null reference for formClassA. in formClassA I have a method like.. public DoSomething() { code } In formClassB within the formClassB class declaration I have placed the following code. fca = formClassA In formClassB I am putting the following code.. fca.DoSomething(...) .............. I know this is probably not the correct way or I have something missing.. Any assistance woudl be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks Bob

One thing you can do is construct formClassB by passing the parent form in the constructor of formClassB and assigning it as a reference to a field called _parent (for example) e.g. formClassA _parent; formClassB(formClassA parent) { _parent = parent; } void DoSomething() { _parent.DoSomething(); } -Mike G
