VB .NET - no static methods?
Author
Looks like VB .net doesn''t let you declare static methods as members of a class? Is there another way to do this other than putting the method in a module file? I thought vb .net was supposed to be fully OOP but if I can''t encapsulate everything into classes what does this mean? I must be missing something here. We are about to migrate our projects from Visual FoxPro into .NET and I am being forced to use VB .NET because the other developer doesn''t want to learn C#, which I already know. I hate office politics. Anyway, static methods in VB .NET?
I believe the keyword you are looking for is Shared.
"I know very well who Satan is: He is freedom. He is the uncontrolled, the incalculable, the antithesis of order and discipline, the antithesis of the legalism of outer space.... We know where a planet will be in twelve years, four months and nine days. But we don''t know where a butterfly will have flown one minute hence. Therefore the butterfly is of Satan."

Unlike Pascal and HTML, VB.NET is still only partially OOP. You where in HTML you might go start>; in vb you would go VbStartMe(true).
