This is available in VB6 already and I am sure it will work in .NET. For example to add a FormName.Parameter property use the following code:

Private m_strParameter As String
'===============================================================
'*  Property:       Parameter
'*  Author:         Joe Johnston 07/19/2001
'*  Description:    This is to allow forms to accept parameters
'*  Parameters:     Whatever you want to pass. Alter type as needed
'===============================================================
Public Property Get Parameter() As String
    Parameter = m_strParameter
  End Property
  Public Property Let Parameter(ByVal strParameter As String)
    m_strParameter = strParameter
End Property
