Public Class does not behave as public.

I defined it at the beginning of the Form class:

Public Class MainForm
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
        Public WithEvents TblComponents As new
InMemoryDataTable
.....
End Class

InMemoryDataTable is the class located in a different
project:

        Public Class InMemoryDataTable
                Inherits DataTable

                Public Sub New(ByVal SelectStatement As
String, _
                        .....
                End Sub

                Public Sub New()

                End Sub
        End class

In the main form I assign values to the table instantiated:

        Private Sub MainForm_Load(....) Handles MyBase.Load
              TblComponents = New InMemDataTable(....)
        End Sub

Thanks,

Mauricio B

You say you "instantiate the class as Public". 
What is the scope of the
variable?  Where did you define it (not where you
instantiated it) --
local to the Form_Load method?

Is this a Winforms app or ASP.NET?

I have a two projects in a solution. One contains a Class
that inherits
a DataTable. In the second project, I instantiate the class
as Public.



When the form is loaded, I use the instantiated object (a
datatable),
format the table, add records and so on.



The problem I have is that the object exists only when it is
created and
when used in the form load event. Once out of the load
event, the object
does not exist anymore. This doesn't happen if the class
exists inside
the same project, but I need to have it in a separate
project.



How can keep this instance in memory during the time the
program in
open. In other word to behave as public?
