Retreive session variables created in a Sub in a Public Shared Function?

[slimshady]

Is it not possible to retreive session variables created in a Sub in a Public Shared Function? I get the following error message:

 

"BC30369: 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 underlined the code where the error occurrs.

 

Here's the code:

 

    Sub GetLoggedInUser()
       Dim userID As String
       Dim strFullName As String
       strFullName = User.Identity.Name

       'Get just the corpId (remove the domain info)
       userID = strFullName.Substring(strFullName.IndexOf("\", 0) + 1)
       Session("sUserId") = userID
   End Sub

   Public Shared Function HasPermission() As Boolean
       Dim myCheck As New PermissionCheckClass 'this is the class where the code is located
       myCheck.GetLoggedInUser()

       'Get the users CorpId from the session variable.
       Dim pCorpId As String = CType([u]Session[/u].Item("sUserId"), String)
   End Function

 

Has the problem anything to do with that I have both the sub to set the session variable AND the function to retreive the variable in the same class?

 

Any thoughts appreciated!

Ok, so by removing "Shared" from the "Public Shared Function" I solved the problem *eh* :)
