How to call a public function from one class to another in vb.net

[jpower69]

I have the following windows application that contains several public classes. One class if my login screen where a user enters there ID plus password. In this class I have a public function called get_password which verifies the password just entered.

this is an example of the call within my login_screen "lretval = vfp_2007(tempstr2) << where tempstr2 is the text being passed"
with the variable lretval being the return value

I have another class called user_maintenance where a new user id/password/confirm password can be created.

My question is this how can I call the public function found in my login_screen from my user_maintenance screen??

If is already posted here, please point me to the response

thanks in advance

Try creating an instance of your Login_Screen class in the User_Maintenance class, then call the function from the Login_Screen instance.

Use the shared modifier then you can use the function without instantiating an instance of the class.
