variable scope [RESOLVED]

I want to set a variable during the page load event then use it on the click event. Where do I declare the variable?

At Class Level.

Code:

---

Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

    Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

    Dim test As String

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        test = "Testing"
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        MsgBox(test)
    End Sub

End Class

---

thanks
