How do I pass a structure to a control?

[eward1]

In VB.NET I have created a control. One of its Properties I have defined WriteOnly and it takes a structure. I have created the identical structure in my application. When I try to set that Property from my application I get the following error:
Cannot convert App.Structr to Ctl.Structr
Even though both structures are the same, they don't know about each other.

I'm not sure if this can be done but try declaring the structure in the control as public and then instead of declaring it again in the application call the structure directly from the control. e.g.

Dim mystrct as new ctl.strct

If that doesn't work try taking it out of the control completely and making the structure it's own dll and including the dll in both the .ocx project and the application project. This should then work

Thanks Spellman,

Your first suggestion worked great.
