How can I count the number of variables in a class?

[BizzyBeatz]

I am creating a class that will hold many variables that themselves hold a single string. I want to call a function on the form_load event that will count the number of variables currently available in the class. If someone is able to share some advice and instruction on how to do this, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks. Oh, and the class that has the variables is a separate class.vb file then the form.vb file that will have the form_load event, this is where the issue comes in as they are in separate projects, though in the same solution. Ultimately, the class file will be compiled into a .dll file from which the form will retrieve the strings.

You will have to use reflection to do this. Here is something to get you started:
