Something like this is what I think you are looking for:
Sub Main()
Dim objIPUpdateForm As New frmIPUpdate
objIPUpdateForm.ShowDialog()
Dim IP as String = objIPUpdateForm.GetIPProperty
'Do Ping Stuff Here
End Sub
Class frmIPUpdate
.....
Public Property ReadOnly GetIPProperty as String
Get
return m_FormsIPAddress
End Get
End Property
.....
End Class
So, we added a public property to the form that exposes the ip address
from the form. You will have to do some checking to make sure a valid
IP was returned, but that's the basics
