Create your own VB file, called it Globals.vb or Utility.Vb or something:
Public Class Globals
Private Const _smtpServer As String = "127.0.0.1"
Public ReadOnly Property SmtpServer() As String
Get
Return _smtpServer
End Get
End Property
...
End Class
You can then access this as Globals.SmtpServer
If this is a serious project, consider implementing a configSection which
won't hard-code a value into your .dll:
