I'm trying to use the F1 function inside of F2 function below. I keep
getting the error posted below the code. If I remove the Shared
declaration from F2, it works fine. What exactly does the error mean?

Public Class myClass

Function F1(ByVal url As String) As Struct1
  -- do something --
End Function

Public Shared Function F2(ByVal value2 As String) As String
    F1(SomeValue) 'error references this line
    -- do something --
End Function

End Class

Cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared method or
shared member initializer without an explicit instance of the class.

I also tried this below the class declaration:

    Public F1_ As new myClass
    F1_.F1()

That gives an error saying 'Declaration Expected' on F1_, anywhere I try to
use it. Any suggestions on how I can reference F1 in F2?

Thanks,
Brett
