the connection string property has not been initialized

[d2005]

the connection string property has not been initialized
in one of my classes i have a private function, which sets connection
other public shared functions call this connection

when i try to call the public shared functions say to my form code i get that error

any one ever had that before

i changed it to public shared and still got the error,
i then got various errors,
i am now for the mean time just calling my connection on each webform needed,
this is a terrible way to do things i know because im going to have to chage it,

if any one has any samples of
a class with a function of connection
calling this connection when needed,
OR
a connection in web config
calling this connection when needed

thanks ever so much
