Where do I declare constants that I want to be visible *outside* of the
application. Or does this only work with enums?

I've declared constants in a normal modue, which can be see throughout the
application, but not from an application referencing this application.

Thanks,

Craig

Did you try to qualify the name? A module is only imported by default in the
same project, not in referencing projects.

General: A constant can be declared as
- Structure member
- Class member
- Module member
- local constant (at procedure level)

Sure, you can declare it in a public class or public module. Be sure to use
Public for the const itself. For example,

Public Class Class1
Public Const ClassConst As Integer = 1024
End Class

Public Module module1
Public Const ModuleConst As Integer = 2048
End Module


In the client app, you would reference these as:

ClassLibrary1.Class1.ClassConst and ClassLibrary1.ModuleConst

Are you sure you marked them to be 'Public'? And you declared them in a
'Public' type?
