That's not nearly enough information for us to determine what the root cause is. Try providing a full and clear explanation of the whole problem.

class file


Public Class mkey
Public Sub getkey()
Try
MsgBox("hello")

Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End Sub


referencing the method in windows forms
Imports myproject1.mkey


in form load

Dim mk As mkey = Nothing

mk.getkey()

Well there you go then. You are explicitly setting 'mk' to Nothing and then you try to call 'getkey' on it. How can you call a method on an object that doesn't exist? That's like saying "I have no car and I'm going to go out and drive it". How can you drive your car if you have no car? Likewise, how can you call 'getkey' on an 'mkey' object if you have no 'mkey' object? If you want an 'mkey' object then you have to create one:

Dim mk As mkey = New mkey

or use the more common shorthand:

Dim mk As New mkey
