Hi Frank:

If I have this class in an ASP.NET project:

public class Foo
{
   public static string Bar
   {
       get
       {
          // pull a string from the config file,
          // the database, a resource file, etc..
       }
   }
}

Then I can write:

Foo.Bar

from anywhere else in code to pull back the string I need. Public
static members are global and always available (which can make them a
double edged sword in some scenarios).

VB.NET works the same way, except the keyword is "Shared" instead of
static.
