Variable declarations.... in VB.Net

In my program I will be using the common structure repeatedly in a module.
Ex Member.FirstName, Member.LastName..

How to declare it in one common place, so that I can create an instance of
this variable and use in sub procedure or function as local variable.

Currently I am declaring these set of variables in each sub or function.

VB.Net 2003 and .Net Framework 1.1

Thank you,

Pete

re: Variable declarations.... in VB.Net

Put the structure definition in a public module and declare it a public
structure

Module Globals
Public Structure Member
FirstName as string
LastName as string
end structure
end module

When you need to use it in a sub or function:

module (or class) mycode
sub Main()
dim m as Member

m.FirstName = "Mike"
m.Lastname = "Ober"
end sub
end Module (or class)

re: Variable declarations.... in VB.Net

Put the declaration after any "Imports..." declarations and before the class
declaration. Is should be available in all classes and modules in your
project, i.e.,

Imports xxxxxx
Public Structure myStructure
FirstName as string
LastName as string
End Structure

Public (or Friend) Class myClass

.........
End Class

re: Variable declarations.... in VB.Net

in my personal opinion the usage of a module should be avoided ( when
possible ) so i would go for Dennis`s aproach
although i would go for a friend scoped declaration unless i explicitly
want an object to be public ( thus also outside my own assembly )

re: Variable declarations.... in VB.Net

Sorry, I'm an old VB 6 user and I wrote that off the top of my head.
Dennis is correct in that the structure should stand on it's own.
