Hi, I'm using VB .net 2003 windows form. I have 2 forms.

Form1 contains: TextBox1, ComboBox1

Form2 contains: CommandButton1

I want to use the text entered in TextBox1 and ComBox1 of Form1 in the Form2_Load of Form2. I have used the following code:

Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

MessageBox.Show(cFName)

End Sub

But this code is not working. It's not printing the cFName. What should be the appropriate code? Do I need to use Module? If so, what will be the code for Module?

You aren't getting your MessageBox because your code is recursive.

When you load your first instance of Form2, it creates another new instance of Form2. That form loads as soon as you access the TextBox1 property...and when instance of Form2 loads, it creates another new instance of Form2. Which creates another new instance of Form2 and so on.

Your code won't stop until you run out of stack space, and even then it won't stop nicely.

So you need to move the creation of your second form out of the Load event. I suggest creating public properties on your Form2 class, and set the values of these text boxes using those properties.
