Hi,
I would like to know whether there's any way for me to pass an object by
reference to another form?

I don't see why a singleton is needed here at all. I would suggest
creating a new instance of the independent class, and passing a
reference to that instance to the constructors of both Form A and Form
B. Using a singleton avoids the need for that reference, but could
prove restrictive later on.
True, I did think about that but then I can't think of a reason why (in
her situation) she would want to keep an instance being passed around
for a convenient class wrapping the DataSet. Her requirement was to keep
it consistent by making any change in another form reflect back to the
other (or others). Since it's only a DataSet and not a user defined
class which could grow into something more meaningful or useful,
requiring separate instances, I believe a singleton is probably the
best, clean choice. Then again, that's only my honest opinion :)

Well, there's nothing to say for sure that there couldn't be multiple
instances of forms A and B, with each pair sharing a single DataSet.

it consistent by making any change in another form reflect back to the

I tend to shy away from using Singletons unless it's a real design
decision to go for them, rather than just as a convenience.

Yeah, I know this question was asked by someone elselike 2 weeks ago. But I
need some additional help. I have a program I'm developing, and multiple
different forms will be opened. For now though, I just have two forms. One is
the main window, and the other sets some preferences like names, and email
addresses.
When someone opens this window, and enters values on this page, I'd like it
to set the values of public variables on the main...

Hi,
I have been experiencing a problem passing a LIKE statement in the WHERE
argument of a DoCmd.Openform statement. I have posted that issue
separately.
However, in an attempt to work around the problem, I thought of using
OPENARGS to pass information to the form being opened (instead of using
WHERE).
In the parent form, I have generated a RecordSet (RS) with the information

When I pass a reference to my current form, frm_x, when I create and show
another form, frm_y, do I have access to all of the public methods,
controls, members, etc.. of frm_x from frm_y?
In my code, I pass the reference like this:
private void btn_ListEmp_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
frm_EmpList frm_empList = new frm_EmpList(this);
frm_empList.MdiParent = this.MdiParent;
frm_empList.Show();

Please tell me which one is correct, 1 or 2.

1. First it gives the code below saying that it prints 0 then 42.
They say that 42 is printed the second time since the value was wrapped in a
class and therefore became passed by reference.

Hi folks,
I would be interested to hear peoples views on whether or not 'pass by
reference' is allowed when using a Web Service method.
The thing that troubles me about pass-by-reference into a WebService is that
essentially we are passing an address of an object which resides on the
'local machine' i.e. a local machine object address. Surely when the
WebService method is called and run 'on the server', the reference type will
be...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
