vb. net 2.0 create a "value" copy of a form
Cecco (ITA)
I have an Mdi main form wich contains childreen forms. Every child form has
a lot of controls such as textbox and datagridview.
I'd like to know if it's possible to make a copy of a form, but not in
referenced mode.
e.g.
Dim myChildNumber1 as new MyCustomForm()
Dim myInstanceNumber1 as MyCustomForm()
myInstanceNumber1 = myChildNumber1 --> reference copy
whe users change value on myChildNumber1 this changes will be reflected on
myInstanceNumber1. There's a way to prevent this??
Thanx in advance, and sorry if I made some mistakes

future off topic replies and then maybe redirect (if they feel like it),

Yeah, I said it.

For dotnet questions you should ask in the VB dotnet newsgroup:
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
As to how to do what you ask, you can always create a second instance
Dim myChildNumber1 as New MyCustomForm
Dim myInstanceNumber1 as New MyCustomForm
But I think you are perhaps wanting to share the data ? If so, look at
separation of UI logic from business logic. You can then use data binding
and cloning of your business objects etc.

Please do NOT answer questions on this group unless those questions relate
to Classic VB because doing so merely causes confusion and also probably
causes the OP, having had his answer, to fail to go on to post his question
on the newsgroup which he should have used in the first place, thereby
"robbing" that group of valid traffic. By doing what you are doing in your
deliberate attempt to destroy this group you are performing a disservice to
both this group and the vb net groups which you love so much. Why don't you
just go back and stay in the vb net groups, Mr McCarthy (Micro$oft Most
Valuable Puppet) and leave this group alone! You are nothing but a nuisance!

I have asked you before to please stop harassing me. Your bullying and
intimidation, your obsessive behavior and fixation over my hair etc, etc,
will not stop me helping posters find the answers to the questions they
have. I suggest if you have an issue with seeing people using VB actually
get help, you simply don't read the posts especially mine.

Please stop harrassing this group with your off-topic replies.

I would suggest it is you who should start acting in a more
professional manner. You know perfectly well the problems
that arise when off topic questions routinely get answered.
Namely, they entice more off topic questions to be asked.
In case you haven't read the Rules of Conduct recently, here
is an excerpt:
"Please make sure that your postings in newsgroups and chats
are relevant to the subject at hand. It is normal for some topics
to drift from the stated subject. However, to ensure maximum
benefit for everyone, we encourage you to keep your postings
as close to the subject as possible."
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/conduct/default.mspx
It is impossible to stop off topic questions, and it is
acknowledged that posting VB.Net questions here may
often be attributed to understandable confusion about
where to post. You personally however, as an experienced
newsgroup user, should be setting an example of proper
conduct, and not adding to the confusion by posting off topic
answers to the off topic questions.
The proper answer to VB.Net questions in this group, is a
polite re-direct to the .Net groups.

Did you miss the part where it says :
"Please avoid personal attacks, slurs, and profanity in your interactions."
They are all Mr William's specialties. He's constantly attacking me often
with rude foul gutter language. If you are interested in the Rules Of
Conduct, please tell Mr Williams to stop.
As to the issue of providing answers ALONG with the redirect, I see
absolutely no issue about that. It doesn't add to the volume of posts or
make this newsgroup any noisier EXCEPT for the actions of the likes of Mr
Williams and whatever aliases he posts as. He/They continue to try to make
a storm in a tea cup each time there is a helpful redirect; that is the real
problem.
Providing an answer along with a redirect is actually more helpful to this
newsgroup than a redirect alone as we have seen the redirects often be rude
and less than helpful. (for an example of a rude redirect look at any of Mr
William's redirects). By being helpful, it makes it easier for the original
poster to actually identify those who are interested in helping versus those
who might have some chip on their shoulder over .NET.

That's a bit like trying to stop the screaming and shouting between
people trying to bail the water out of a sinking boat. You can ask
them to stop screaming and shouting, or, you can plug the hole
and the screaming and shouting will stop when the water is gone....

And others might say 'This is a General Discussion group so I don't
see anything wrong with posting my cake recipies here'. Posts that are
not about classic VB are off topic in this group. Like it or not, that is
the consensus of the group and should be respected. Any retort to
an off topic post (while perhaps unecessarily rude) are a result of
the off topic post. The response does not initiate the off topic post,
its the off topic post that is the cause of the response.
You are continually reminded of this, yet you continue to antagonize.
It seems there is definately more here than meets the eye....
Oh well

VB6 related questions, Bill's answers are often of interest.

Cake receipes and motor cycle engine maintenance procedures are often of
interest but, just like the McCarthy MostValuablePuppet's off topic replies,
they do not belong in this group!

You __KNOW__ BM's going to reply to this, and I'd say the rest of us are
sick and tired of you two sniping at each other every time an OP
requesting a .net answer comes into this newsgroup. It also pulls in
those others who want to toss in their two cents worth on either side of
any VB/VB.net debate as well
Just write polite replies to OPs saying they're probably going to get a
better response in a vb.net flavoured ng, AND LEAVE IT AT THAT!!!!
It used to be amusing you two would start flaming each other, but now
it's just annoying, boring, time consuming (for you two), and cluttering
up the newsgroup.
Both of you have contributed a lot to helping nubees and other offbeat
queries on variances of VB/VB.net and I hope you both still do, and by
the comments both of you make about each other, you're also not 12yo
'smartbrats'. Maybe both of you are too old to play golf, or lawn bowls,
or anything else that would take you away from a computer, and all you
and Bill can do to keep yourselves amused is sit in front of a computer
writing nasty missives to each other. Form your own hate-each-other
newsgroup, in that case AND STAY THERE. Otherwise
GROW UP!!!

Whatever Larry. If you are going to argue rediculous things like that I see
no point in attempting ot further this discussion. As is you've alreayd
piggy backed onto someone else's post.

This is vb.general.discussion. Just as winapi post should be redirected to
a more specific group whereit exists so too should dotnet ones. A person
who posts to the vb.general.discussion group should be treated with the same
courtesy and respect in both cases.

Nonsense. I think this is where we view things very differently. The
un-necessarily rude posts are never appropriate and the original poster
should not have this thrust upon them, nor should they have this childish
squabbling either tacked onto their post because some screaming
anti-dottnetters want to harass them and anyone who uses .Net. It's no
coincidence that the very people who constantly retort are the same people
screaming about the boat taking on water. There's no point trying to plug
the holes until they stop trying to put more holes in the boat.
Anyway, I'm not going to waste anymore time arguing this with you. Good
luck with plugging those holes ;)
