How to get one class accessing another class' properties?

Hi,

I must be overlooking something really simple.

SITUATION
A form Application, but this is about the two added Class Modules: Class1.vb and Person.vb

Person.vb
--------------

VB Code:

Public Class Person
    Public Name As String
    Public Age As Integer
End Class

Class1.vb
-------------

VB Code:

Public Class Class1
    Dim person As New Person
    person.Name = "Bob"        <---- Name doesn't show up in Intelisense and this gives a "Declaration expected" error.
 
End Class

PS
* They are in the same (root) namespace.
* I know the above Class design is *crappo*. It's just put together as a simple illustration of my headache, I mean problem. (#_#)

I have declared Public variabes in classes before and didn't need to reference the class that it belongs to, to use it. Just try using:

VB Code:

Public Class Class1
    Dim person As New Person
    Name = "Bob"        <---- Name doesn't show up in Intelisense and this gives a "Declaration expected" error.
 
End Class

Hope that works! ;)

You cannot assign to property of a member variable outside a method.

Add a constructor to the class pewrson that takes a name and use that e.g.

VB Code:

Public Class Person
    Public Name As String
    Public Age As Integer
 
    Public Sub New(byval NameIn as String)
       Name = NameIn
    End Sub
End Class
 
Public Class Class1
    Dim person As New Person("Bob")
End Class
