How can I access variables from other classes in VB.NET?

I'm a beginning programmer, and I need to know how to access and edit variables for another class. This is some example code I have

Public Class class1
    Dim strName, strAge, strGender As String

Public Class class2
    / I need to edit the variables in this class. How do I do this?

You need to make a property that exposes the variable:

Dim ThisClassVariable as String

Public Property ClassVariable as String
    Get 
      Return ThisClassVariable
    End Get 
    Set(ByVal Value As String)
      ThisClassVariable = value
    End Set 
End Property

Then when you create an instance of the class named "foo" you access the variable by using foo.ClassVariable
