I'm writing a VB.NET application, and I have a lot of general-purpose
utility functions that need to be available throughout the program
(like functions that perform standard date conversions peculiar to my
app, etc.) and some global data values (i.e. the start and end dates
of a billing period).
I have gathered them all into an object and would like to make that
object a global variable - instantiate it once and then be able to
reference it from anywhere in the code that I need to. I don't want
to pay the overhead of recreating the object every time I need it.
Can somebody suggest the best way to accomplish this? I don't see an
equivalent to a global variable in a .BAS module as in VB 6. Is there
a better way to do this in .NET?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Douglas,
I do not understand what you mean, with pay for that overhead, recreating
gives the posibility to free resources.
However what you ask is called in VB.net a Shared class, you make that by
setting all the methods and properties shared. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...redmembers.asp
I hope this helps?

I fill in some values of a few data members in the new() function - so
there's that overhead, performance-wise.
However what you ask is called in VB.net a Shared class, you make that by

But that doesn't create the member variables and initialize them, etc.
I think I found the answer in making a "singleton" class - the class
contains an instance of itself, and I use a function I'll call
"Create", which will do:
Public Shared Function Create() As clsMyApplicatio n
If oApp Is Nothing Then
oApp = New clsMyApplicatio n
End If
Return oMyApp
End Function
And then, wherever I need this object, I just "create" it:
dim oMyApp As clsMyApplicatio n = oMyApp.Create()
Which will create the object if necessary, but otherwise will use the
one that is already created. It seems to work well.

So then what's the difference between a singleton class, and a class with
all shared members? I mean as far as the end result of what you are trying
to accomplish.

I want to work with an array variable within a function(s).
I can't get it to work; if I:

2) global $arr; in "main", the var isn't global
3) global $arr; in function, the array is cleared each time

Dont’ make my mistake. It is costly.
Say you have defined a variable $var in your main script.
Now in a function you access it using:
global $var;
But you want to set it to null inside the function.
DO: $var = null;
DONT DO: unset($var);
