  Passing a value to a global variable

  Jan 18, 2016 04:53 PM|esims|LINK

  Can I pass an external value to a global variable in a class? Right now, I do it like this:

  Public Class myClass
  Dim myGlobalVar as string
  
  Public Function myFunction(myVar as string)
  	myGlobalVar=myVar
  	...
  	
  End Function
  End Class

  As you see, I am using two variables, and assign the value of the local variable to the global variable in the function. I wonder if you can do this more efficient, i.e. using only one variable.

  Hi esims,

  You could create a class with shared properties:

  Public Class GlobalVariables   
     Public Shared Property MyGlobalString As String
  End Class
  

  Access the global variables

  GlobalVariables.MyGlobalString = "Test"

  Best Regards,
