you are trying to access a function without instantiating your object.
so for instance you have a class "Test" containing a method "DoSomething" and in your code you are doing:
Test.DoSomething()
instead of instantiating your object first:
dim t as new Test()
t.DoSomething()
what you can also do is simply put the keyword "shared" in front of your method definition if that makes sense for your class design.
if you want the MS exact explanation:

Hello lenordiste -
Thanks very much for responding. You've hit the nail on the head. This is exactly my situation.
Could I ask you one more question? If the assembly were a COM DLLand not an executable, how would I get access to the DoSomething function in Class Test from outside the DLL?
Would I instantiate...
Dim t as New dllname.Test()
t.DoSomething()
Thanks.
