Reading from a user control

I know this is possible. I have user control name Dimension. Someway I must include this in my codebehind file. I am using vb.net.

I think in C# the code is:
Protected GF.Dimension1 Dimension;

C# Code

Code:

---

Protected GF.Dimension1 Dimension

---

VB Translation

Code:

---

Protected Dimension As GF.Dimension1
