vb.net code behind - using subs and functions in another code file

Question

I have a vb.net project here using code behind. Basically I have a page.aspx.vb code file with literally thousands of lines of code. I wanted to take all the subs and functions out of it to make it more "manageable" - but I have no idea how I can call subs from separate code files.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for this?

Thanks. DS

Answer 1

In your new project just add .dll files from old project as a reference and then you can use those subs (They have to be Public).

You can find more about references HERE

Answer 2

In VB.Net you can use modules in order to make subs and functions accessible from all over your code

Modules in `VB.Net` are similar to `static classes` in `c#`
