Use function to load data for multiple forms

Tim Hansen

15y2.7k.NET

I'm working on an app that has a function that loads form information to be displayed. but it loads it , directly?

(in code behind)
private void LoadFormPreview()
{
this.ReviewForm.lblCo_Name = this.txtCo_Name.Text.ToString();
this.ReviewForm.lblCo_Address1 = this.txtCo_Address1.Text.ToString();
...

can i make this more generic so i can provide the form as a parameter? if so, what would the datatype be? i attempted using a string but that just produced an error..

private void LoadFormPreview(string rvwForm)
{
this.rvwForm.lblCo_Name = ...

Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. When I modify the function to be LoadFormPreview(Object rvwForm) and then try to use typeof(rvwForm) to get it's type, I get an error "The type or namespace name 'rvwForm' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" Thanks

I think you have to specify the parameter as Object. And in your method check for the type of Object (using typeOf). And based on that cast the object to your usercontrol and you have the user control. You can load the data without any problems. While passing pass the user control as the parameter.
