Sharing references/members

I'm building a WinForms project and I have 3 levels of
forms( the MDI Form, a MDI child form, and a modal form
called from the MDI child form ). I have a member
declared in the MDI Form that I need to be able to
manipulate from within the other two forms and I'm not
sure of the best way to go about this ( I'm used to
ASP.net, where I would simply put this in the Session
object and call it from each page ). Can anyone point me
in the right direction here? Thanks!!!

Tom,

Create a new property for your MDI form that exposes the object you require.

Then, from the child form:

----
Me.MdiParent.YourProperty.SomeMethod()
----

For the modal form to access the property you need to pass a reference
to the MDI parent somehow. I personally suggest passing the reference as
an argument to the modal form's constructor.

Regards,
