.dll in vb.net

[Nano]

Hello,

I am creating a dll in VB .net, with a root namespace of
Companyname.Justfunctions, which only contains some functions for string
operations I perform regularly in different applications.

Now where can these functions best be put inside the dll? In a "public
module"-block? Or are there other/bether methods to create a dll with just
functions? Reason I am getting confused is that when in my ide and code-
autocomplete, I also see the Companyname.Justfunctions.Modulename alongside
the functions as Companyname.Justfunctions.Function1

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You can use also a class named Justfunctions with Shared functions and
shorten the root namespace to Companyname.

Personally, I would use CompanyName as the root namespace.
Then, encapsulate the class in a namespace like Common.
Then create a Public Class StringFunctions

It looks way better and if you continue to use this method of
distributing functions, you can make sub-namespaces in your DLL and
things can be all happy and organized.
