Mysettings passed to a function or sub

[TimothyDoran]

Hello first of all thank you for your time in reading this post.

My problem is that i have a setting called 'altitude'. I want to pass this setting to another function or sub, but i cant seem to work out how.

ie:
private sub SomeStuff(setting as my.mysettings)

where settings would be 'altitude'

I realise that this is a basic thing, but i just cant work out how to do it. Please help me.

Could you please fill in some details? For instance...

• What version of VB?
• What does "my.mysettings" represent? Is this a structure that your "setting" reside within?
• Can you show us the code you have so far? This might help.

Hi Tim. Need to know the data type for this variable. It is unlikely to be 'my.mysettings'

That does not appear to be what the op is asking.

Hello thanks for the responces.

I am using vb.net, i think that i should have really put this in the .net part of the forum

my.mysettings.**** is the method for retrieving user.config settings. I can read and write to these no problem.

altitude is a string setting with a short string of characters. There are also other settings

What i want to do is pass my.mysettings.altitude to another sub or function.

Ok Timothy. No problem. Now that we know the data type the rest is easy.
So my.mysettings.altitude is a string. We can pass it as a parameter to any function that takes a string as a parameter.

Sub anyfunction(mystring As String)
   'blah blah blah
End Sub

Then we can call it with the altitude parameter

anyfunction my.mysettings.altitude

Bingo
