• Gary Wang Passing Variables Between Forms

  This is probably a silly question to ask here, but I need to be able to pass variables between forms. What I mean is, for example, you open a form that asks for a URL and after you hit the OK button, the function that called it can use the URL.

• JimReid TabPages and UserControls growing to over 30,000 pixels in Width and Height in Designer (2005 beta 2)

  I’m having some major sizing issues with controls in designer view. To be specific, it   seems that controls within container controls such as TabPages will randomly outgrow their parent controls to a very large size (~30,000px! ).   Even when trying to manually edit the designer code, as soon as switching back to design view, the weird numbers are back.
