Public properties from another class in vb.net


I've tried searching... a lot for the answer, but as I'm not too sure what exactly I'm trying to do I can't seem to find anything.

I'm trying to write a dll in order to handle errors thrown from a vb.net app. In the dll I need several forms (I'm not totally sure if they can have forms - I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to dll's) for which the user can type in their message about the error and submit it.

I need to be able to pass strings to the form and for the form to be able to access public subs in the class file.

For instance I have a public sub called Emailer, which I want, when the submit button is clicked from the form to be run.

Or, lets say I have a public string: Public strName as string = nothing why cant I, from the class file just do this: frmFormName.strName = "abc"

Not sure if I've explained that very well, but like I said I'm a bit of a newbie with this stuff.
