Thread: VSTO Create a New Class

Hi all,

Using Visual Studio Pro 2008
Office Pro 2007

I am working through some tutorials from VSTO For Mere Mortals

I created a Class:

Public Class Sentence
    Private TextValue As String
    Property Text() As String
        Get
            Return TextValue
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            TextValue = value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

And I tried to Insantiate it

Private Sub ThisDocument_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
        Dim Sentence1 As New Sentence()
        Dim Sentence2 As New Sentence()
        Sentence1.Text = "This is my first sentence. "
        Sentence2.Text = "This is my second sentence. "
        Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertAfter( _
            Sentence1.Text & Sentence2.Text)
    End Sub

The word "Sentence" is underlined with a blue squiggly line
The error message is Type 'Sentence' is not defined.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Winston

Solved.
I think I must have created a global class directly under "Solution" in Solution Explorer
I started a new project, and this time created the class within the word document and then added the code to the startup handler

Works great
