Subject: module or class

Question
Dear Sir,
 I'm confuse of using module and class in vb .net,
for example i write a function that is global use to replace  a "'" string.
eg .
Public Function Rpstr(ByVal strString As String) As String
       Rpstr = Replace(strString, "'", "''", , , CompareMethod.Text)
End Function

question
1.
should i place it at module or class?why?
2.
what different public and public shared,when we use it?

Thanks in advance.  

Answer
MOdules are normally used to create global functions and variables which are accessible throughout the project. They are inherited from Old Structured/Modular programming approach of GWBASIC and TurboBasic

Classes are relatively newer concept in VB adapting the Object oriented programming style.

Shared method are also referred to as static methods created inside classes.

A shared method is accessible directly through a class name without having to create its object.


Regards,
Riz
