A non-Shared member, or instance member, is one that is called on an instance of the class. If you re trying to call a method(say MethodA) of a class(ClassA) on another class(ClassB) directly then it is not permitted. You have to create an instance of the class(ClassA) and then call its method(MethodA) in the class(CLASSB).

As an example consider that You have 2 forms Form1and Form2. There is a TextBox in Form1 namely Text1 which needs to be accessed in Form2.

This should be done like this(in Form2)

Dim temp as New Form1( )

temp.Text1.Text = "Sample"
