Refresh an opened form vb.net

Question

I have my form 1 and when I click in a button it opens my form 2. I want to introduce some information in this second form in order to uptade the first form. I tried this:

Public class Form2

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

    ... {some code here}

    Form1.Refresh()
    Me.Close()

    End Sub
End Class

But this isn't refreshing my form1. I know I can close the first form and open it again, but i don't pretend that. Is there any other way to do this?

Answer 1

Based on the input provided by you, you should fetch the data again from the database in the first form. The refresh method / event handler is different that the Form Load method. You need to call again the method / code responsible for fetching the data from the database.
