The static (shared in VB) class cannot be instanciated anyway. So what is the problem? Show us some code about what you want to do and how you try do to it.

Shared functions do not require an instance of the class - that is the whole point. So to call one from within a different class you just prefix the function name with the name of the class it is declared in:

VB

MyClass.MyFunction(MyParameter, MyOtherParameter)

If the method is not declared as Shared, then you cannot call it without the appropriate instance of the class, either directly:

VB

Dim mc As New MyClass
mc.MyMethod(MyParameter)

If you are outside the class it is declared in, or just by using the name of the method if you are in the same class, and not in a Shared method.
