Updating control in FORM from MODULE

Question

Hi All! I'm new to these forums! I've been programming VB6 for some time now (2.5 years). In VB6 it was possible to do something like this from a module: List1.Additem test I can't seem to add anything to a listbox from a module in .NET. It does work in the form itself... What are the biggest differences with VB6 on this kind of stuff? >I know forms have to be declared first before you can access them. Thanks! Kevin

There are many many differences between VB6 and VB.net as VB6 wasn't entirely Object Orientated. If you are running from a module and need to add an item to a listbox on a form you would have to have this (assuming the form is a variable accessible by the module) frm.List1.AddItem(Test)
