Public, Private, Protected? Thanks.

[Shapper]

Hello,

What is the difference of using:

Sub function()
Public Sub function()
Private Sub function()
Protected Sub function()

I place all my functions in my aspx.vb files but I have some problems
when deciding when to use Public, Private, Protected or none.

Thank You,
Miguel

Public == Available to everyone who can access the class
Private == Available only within the class where the function/variable is
declared
protected = Available only within the class, or any class that is derived
from the class

Miguel,

I personally think it's ok to ask any questions. But for your own benefit
grab one of these books teaching programming and read it.

I recommend the "Class Design Handbook" by WROX. There is a C# and a Visual
Basic.NET edition.
