reference to a nonshared object

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a problem trying to access a public variable within a class library.

I have a class library that I'm using as a plugin through an interface. The class library contains one form that I'm using to configure a com port.

In the class library, I'm declaring my variables as follows:

Public Class Plugin1
    Implements PlugInInterface.IMyPlugIn
    Public Structure CommPortSettings
        Dim BaudRate As Integer
        Dim Port As String
        Dim Handshake As System.IO.Ports.Handshake
        Dim DataBits As Integer
        Dim Stopbits As System.IO.Ports.StopBits
        Dim Parity As System.IO.Ports.Parity
        Dim Timeout As Integer
    End Structure
    Public Const Plugin_version As String = "1.0"
    Public CurrentSettings As CommPortSettings

In the form's code, I can access the constants and the structure by using code like 'plugin1.Plugin_version', but don't have access to the public variable CurrentSettings.

I'm obviously going about this wrong. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Found a solution. I ended up adding a property to my form so I can pass the variable that way.
