MDI Child Variables

MDI Child Variables

• Sarit Kommineni

  However, I do not have the name of the childform. It can be anything.
  
  So, when I say
            DataSet DS = this.ActiveMdiChild.MyDataSet;
  
  It will give an error MyDataSet is not defined.

  One way is to create a property in the MDI like:
  
  public DataSet MyDataSet
  {
     get{return theDataSet;}
  }
  
  and then access it from the parent
  
  // assumes a reference to the child form is child
  
   DataSet childDataSet = child.MyDataSet;

  you could cast it
  
  if(ActiveMdi Child is MyForm1)
  {
     DataSet ds = ((MyForm1)activeMdiChild).MyDataSet;
  }
