Access Methods Or Properties From Html In Asp.net Mvc?

In c# asp.net mvc I can declare some public class like:

public class Foo {
public static string Bar {get
{return "bar";}
}
}

and access it from any html like:

<%=Foo.Bar;%>

right?Well, I have to do the same in ASP.NET MVC VB.Net but I cannot access any variable or method:

public class Foo
public Shared ReadOnly Bar as string
Get

[code]....

UPDATE:standard VB.NET puts modules in the namespace defined in your project.I had to type

MVCApplication1.Foo.Bar

how to create a module that doesn't wrap this into a namespace? Or have the view import the application namespace by default?
