I have the following skeletal routine:

   Module Module1

      Public Class ClassA

         Public Sub RoutineA()

            Dim Param As Integer

            Call RoutineB(Param)

         End Sub

         Public Class ClassB

            Public Sub RoutineB(ByRef Glob As Integer)
               Glob = 3
            End Sub

         End Class ' End ClassB

      End Class ' End ClassA

   End Module


The Call SubRoutineB(Param) flags an error "name SubroutineB not declared"!
From what I have read, the "public" declaration should have made all the routine names available globally. Am I missing something or is there something about nesting classes that I do not understand?

All the best,

As far as I can see, you haven't declared a method named SubroutineB. You have one named RoutineB, and that might be the one you intended to be calling. The error you are getting actually tells you the same thing.

You cannot call that routine until the class is instantiated, can you?

Or don't you need to declare the class as Shared or Static to have its members always available?

Sorry for the vagueness—don’t actually want to go look it up if this or what Woody posted helps...

Brian is absolutely right - if what you intend is to call RoutineB you will need to instantiate an instance of ClassB first and call that method on that class. The nesting is not the problem.
