what is the VB6 App.HelpFile equivalent inVB.Net

I migrated VB6 code to Vb.net and I am getting

" 'App' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level".

below is the code

Private Declare Function WinHelp Lib "user32" Alias "WinHelpA" (ByVal hWnd As Integer, ByVal lpHelpFile As String, ByVal wCommand As Integer, ByVal dwData As Integer) As Integer

Public Property HelpFile() As String
    Get           
        HelpFile = App.HelpFile           

    End Get
    Set(ByVal Value As String)
        
        App.HelpFile = Value
    End Set
End Property

I need help on this.

If you are interested in converting a VB6 project to VB.NET, I found this PDF File that has a lot of information about it. However, if you don't mind going through it, I found this on the bottom of the 18th page:

"If the application has a helpfile associated to it then the solution is just to change the app.helpfile to the name and path of the helpfile. So for example if the helpfile is called name MyProject.hlp and is stored in the c:\ directory the app.helpfile should simply be changed into “c:\MyProject.hlp”. "

So, just use another variable whose value you are going to set in the class constructor, then use it inside this property instead of App.HelpFile. Hope it helps.
