Run a function from another form vb.net

I've got Module Main() with a function called Main() in Form1 

Public Module Main 
 Public Sub Main()

 End Sub
End Module

And I want to run this from Form2 doing Form1.Main() won't work because that will look for a class in form2 named form1.

So how can I do this?

you can also use the structure of the Form1 and Form2 class to target your routines that you wish to run. 

public class form1 
public shared sub testsub()
msgbox("hello world")
end sub
end class

public class form2 
public shared sub testsub2()
' this will allow you to call a sub from form1 this also works with variables, functions, ect
form1.testsub()
end sub
end class

I believe I've found your problem. Main seems to be a reserved keyword (or it at least serves some other purpose to Visual Studio), so you cannot use it as a class or module name.

If you rename the module to for example MainModule, you are then able to call:

MainModule.Main()
