vb.net access public method in nested classes from another class

[Pj]

hi,

i am new to vb.net and i am stuck at a particular point in my project.

i have two nested classes (because vb.net does NOT allow multiple
inheritance)

-----------------------------------------
Class DrawingCanvas
Inherit System.Windows.Forms.Form

Class OurView
Inherit CsGL.OpenGL.OpenGLControl

Sub A
Sub B
Sub C

End Class
End Class
-----------------------------------------

Then i have another class somewhere else

-----------------------------------------
Class Controls
Inherit System.Windows.Forms.Form

Sub Z

End Class
-----------------------------------------

Now from class Controls i am trying to access Sub A (from class
OurView) but can not access it. How is this possible in vb.net?

thanks
pj

PJ,

Can you show us what code you want to use now, this is so very basic?

Hi PJ,

As long as you create an instance of DrawingCanvas.OurView first (you
will have to fully qualify the name), you should be able to access Sub A
with no problems:

----
Class Controls
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Sub Z()
Dim ov as New DrawingCanvas.OurView()
ov.A()
End Sub
----

If I'm incorrect in my assumptions, please provide more detail as to the
error you are experiencing.

Regards,
-Adam.
