Where can I put this string so it is visible to all programs?

I've looked for a 'module' and used the class viewer to put it in there,
but 'Public UserID As String' is still not a globally visible string.
How do I do this please?
Thanks,

If you are writing a library, you would typically expose a string that is
gettable and settable via a property.

Modules are a little weird in VB.NET, don't act like they did in vb6 (from
what I've seen, I try to avoid them like the plague).

Anyways, you might want to do

Imports myModule

on top of the classes you want to use it in. Personally, I would use a
Class declaration and call a shared varialble

i.e

public class myClass

public shared UserID as Integer

end class

What exactly do you mean with "globally"?
 
I figured it out...
In VS.NET right click on the project in the solution viewer and select
add> add new item> module> open>
It looks like this of course:

Module Module1

End Module

then just stick it in there so that it looks like this:

Module Module1
Public UserID As String
End Module

And anything can be seen by any program in the project.

.... in a class. Or you can implement the singleton design pattern...
