Question Structure being 'Exposed'

[schmeet]

Hi Guys,

So. In my project I have a module called Functions where I have all my functions, suprisingly. I also have in there a few structures that I have made.

One of those structures is called Point3D which is just used for storing x,y and z values.

It looks like this:

Module Functions

'...More stuff in here...

Public Structure Point3D
        Public X As Double
        Public Y As Double
        Public Z As Double
    End Structure

'...More stuff in here...

End Module

I then have a class for a popup window. I want to pass a Point3D variable to the class using the constructor, so I do this using:

Public Class EditBuildings

    Public Sub New(ByVal Point As Point3D)
        MyBase.New()
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub

End Class

However, apparently I am exposing type 'Functions.Point3D' outside the project through class 'EditBuildings'.

But I dont get it because the structure is public the class is public and the constructor is public. If I make the constructor private then I can use it, but then I cant access the constructor from other forms. Please help...

You have not set access level for the Module, which is then Friend by default, thus more narrow than Public.
Access Levels in Visual Basic
Declaration Contexts and Default Access Levels (Visual Basic)

I'm not a big fan of Module, I'd rather use a Class, possibly with Shared members. The Point3D type and other types you should consider just including in a Namespace and not embed in Module type.
