Hi I am a Vb.Net developer and am learning C#. In Vb.Net I would create a function to hold my connection strings in a module and then call it in my main program; to use my ADO.net connections.

In C# I understand that I would have to use something called a static class. I ma not sure hwo to do this in this or how I would call it from the main program.

Can someone give me an example of how this would be done?

Thak you

There is no real equivalent of a VB.Net module in C#, a longer answer can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3410989/c-sharp-equivalent-of-vb-public-module-with-too-please

The closest thing is a static class. A static class and class members are used to create data and functions that can be accessed without creating an instance of the class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/79b3xss3(v=vs.80).aspx

static class GetInformation { public static void UpdateCompanyData(string data) { //do something...} public static string GetCompanyAddress() { return "CompanyAddress"; } //... }

//Use: GetInformation.UpdateCompanyData("the data...");
