Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference
I added sample code below and an image. I have a DLL that i created which encrypts / decrypts a string. When I add Encrypts( some text ) I receive "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" error. Without the encrypt I do not recevie the error.
Any idea how to resolve?

Dim _connStr As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DBASE").ToString()
Dim _login As New BOL.Login
Dim ds As New DataSet
If Page.IsValid Then
Try
_login.ConnectionString = _connStr
_login.UserId = txtUserName.Text
_login.Password = Encrypt
(txtPassword.Text.ToString())
Catch
End Try

You didn't post the code that defines your Encrypt and Decrypt methods (for obvious reasons, I'm sure), but it sounds like you didn't declare these methods as Shared, so they are instance methods--which means you need to create an instance of the class which houses these methods. Call the methods against the instance rather than as standalone functions.

The way your class is built, you would need to to the following in order to call the method:
