Morten,
Your suggestion nicely executed on my computer only that when I run the Form
I'm receiving the Error Message :
Scenario :
Solution 1
PurchasingSystem - Project
Child - Form (Only the Background Color and size was changed)
Parent - Form (Only the Background Color and size was changed)
RS - Inherited Form based on Parent Form
Public Class RS
Inherits Purchasing_System.Parent
Private Sub RS_Load(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
End Class
WindowsApplication1 - Project
Employee - Class
Form1 - Form
Note :
Purchasing Project Dependencies was: WindowsApplication1
Startup Form - RS
This Error Occurs After I run the Form :
One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are
listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while
others may require code changes.
The path is not of a legal form.

Hi,
You need to add references before you access classes in another project.
Right click the project you want to read from another project and select
"Add
reference ..." Select the Project tab and doubleclick the other project.
You should then be able to do create objects from another project.
'Inside Project2
Dim f as new Project1.Form1
If class names are unique you could also add Imports Project1 on top of
the
code file in Project 2 and create the object directly.
Imports Project1
...
Dim f as New UniqueForm
Without seeing the actual code its hard to determine what is wrong.
I assume by "running" Form1 you mean opening Form1 in design mode in Visual
Studio,
which means the designer file is not correct or missing information.
To debug the error open of the designer file. VB hides this file by default,
so open your solution explorer. Select the project not working properly,
and click the Show All Files icon second to the right on top of the solution
explorer.
Your Form files should get a + sign. Expand the + sign and double click the
<Form>.Designer.vb file. This file contains the InitializeComponent method
which
is called from the <Form> constructor (something VB also hides from you).
Be careful when you edit this file as it is handled by Visual Studio,
but try commenting out all lines inside InitializeComponent until you find
the line
causing the error. If the error is there even with all lines commented out,
make
sure the namespace and inheritance matches the <Form>.vb file.
If you still can't figure out what is wrong, you can send me the project and
I will take a look at it.
