Yeah, you need to declare it with the Shared keyword.

So the whole point of a Shared object is so that you can reference it, without having to create an instance of the class. You can make any method (Sub or Function, in VB.NET), Property, whatever, Shared. It's the same as 'Static' in C#/C++/Java.

eg, in VB.NET:

Code: Select all

Public Class Engine

Public Shared Device As Irrlicht.Device 'or whatever it is

Public Sub MyMethod1()
   'some stuff
End Sub

End Class

Irrlicht Engine
