If the classes in the module are public, then you can access them just like
you would any other class.

VB Modules are translated into Namespaces in C#. For instance
Module sample
public function foo() as integer
end Module
From C#, call as
int i = sample.foo();
"sample" will be in pale blue as a NameSpace.
??? Classes appear in "pale blue" (light cyan, actually), not namespaces.
This would suggest that VB modules are treated as (static?) classes.

Yes - VB modules are just static classes. The only difference is that when
coding in VB, VB allows you to optionally drop the module name when
referencing a member.

A module in VB.NET is compiled into a *sealed* (not static because a static
class is an *abstract & sealed* class) class with static methods and no
constructors defined.
To differentiate the module from a normal sealed class, when a module is
compiled, the generated sealed class also has a
"Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.StandardModuleAttribute" with it.
So VB knows it is a module.
The C# doesn't know about that attribute so we can just use the class like
a normal static class.
By default, a newly added Module's protection level is Internal (Friend in
VB), you need to change it to Public so it can be accessed from outside the
assembly.

A module in VB.NET is compiled into a *sealed* (not static because a static
class is an *abstract & sealed* class) class with static methods and no

How can a class be both "abstract & sealed"? The MSDN documentation for the
sealed keyword states this:
It is an error to use a sealed class as a base class or to use the abstract
modifier with a sealed class.

Yes, you cannot define an abstract sealed class like this:
internal abstract sealed class MyClass {...}
You can only do this:
internal static class MyClass {...}
However, *static* is just a C# idea, when the line above being compiled
into IL, it looks like this:
class private abstract auto ansi sealed beforefieldinit MyClass
extends [mscorlib]System.Object
This is why I say "both abstract & sealed" - its how sealed class is
implemented.
Compare to VB's module IL:
class private auto ansi sealed Module1
extends [mscorlib]System.Object
So a VB module != a C# static class, as you can see from the IL.
Hope this makes it clear.
