define global value

[.nLL]

hi, im new to asp.net and trying to define a global value. i dont want to
use web.config because i want to be able to run my app on any sub folder
without created an application in iis.

so far i got below in my functons.vb

------------------------
Public Class MyFunctions
Public Shared Function MyDbPath() As String
Return "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=|DataDir ectory|bookmark s.mdb;User Id=admin;Passwo rd=;"
End Function


Public Shared Function AlphaNumOnly(By Val MyString As String) As String
Dim sResult As String
sResult = Trim(MyString)
If Not sResult = "" Then
sResult = Regex.Replace(M yString, "[^a-z|A-Z|0-9|\.|\-]{1,50}",
"")
End If

Return sResult
End Function
end class
----------------------------------------------

i can use AlphaNumOnly function anywhere within my code and works fine but
when i try to use myfunctions.MyD bPath() i get error saying ' MyDbPath is
not member of MYNameSpace.Myf unctions

I can;t see what im doing wrong.

thanks

Re: define global value

Although I use C# and may potentually miss some nuances of VB.NET, I don't
see the difference. I suspect that the problem is somewhere other than the
code you posted. Let's see the reference that fails and the exact error
message.

Re: define global value

Namespace problem based on the way VB works with folders, at least that is
my first guess as to why you are having issues.

Now, the best way to find your problem this is download Reflector (now a
RedGate tool, but still free):

http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/

Compile your website (or run a page). Look in the /bin folder using
reflector. The actual file name for the DLL is folderName.dll, at least in
general. Open it up and notice declarations for namespaces. You will have to
delete the directive in the page to get this to compile and see this in
action, but you will see what is going on.

Choices
1. Turn off default VB behavior in options
2. Add Imports statements to your page
3. Explicitly add a namespace to your VB functions class file

Re: define global value

my solution was


Public Shared ReadOnly Property MyDbPath() As String
Get
Return "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=|DataDir ectory|bookmark s.mdb;User Id=admin;Passwo rd=;"
End Get
End Property



thanks
