How can I access a function from a file in the "App_Code" directory ?

[sa5cha]

Hi,

I have just a little question, I just need a little push towards the right direction:

I have a file "my_app.vb" located in the "App_Code" directory of my ASP.NET application.

I now want to access a function which is located in that my_app.vb file from all over my aspx pages of my application.

I just need to know how to write a function that is accessible from all over my code.

The public const works, i can access it via my_app.HelloWorld , but i can access my function called MyFunction.

What am i doing wrong, please help me.

Heres the Code:

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Public Class my_app
Public Const HelloWorld As String = "Yep Hello World!"


Public Function MyFunction() As String
MyFunction = "Yep I Can hear u !!"
End Function

End Class

Thank you in advance
Sascha

I mean: I can't access my function called MyFunction

the member is an instance member. you need to instiantiate a new instance of the object.

MyClass clazz = new MyClass();
class.DoSomething();

If you want to access it that way then try this:

    Public [b][blue]Shared [/blue][/b]Function MyFunction() As String
        MyFunction = "Yep I Can hear u !!"
    End Function

Otherwise you have to use Jason's example.
