I have a problem for which I dont seem to be getting a solution.

I have 3 projects namely Project A,B and C.

In projectA, I have defined a public class ClassA

(Toggle Plain Text)

Public Class ClassA
    Public Shared Function ClassAFunction() As String

        Return "Class A"

    End Function


End Class

In ProjectB, I have inherited from the ClassA in ProjectA.

(Toggle Plain Text)

Imports ProjectA
Public Class ClassB
    Inherits ProjectA.ClassA

    Public Shared Function ClassBFunction() As String
        Return "Class B"
    End Function


End Class

In ProjectC, I have given a reference to ProjectB.

I am able to access the function present in ClassB but not the functions inherited from ClassA.

eg: ClassB.ClassBFunction() ----- allowed
ClassB.ClassAFunction() ----- not allowed.

But if I overload the ClassAFunction within ClassA, then it is accessible.
eg: ClassB.ClassAFunction() ---- allowed

Could anyone tell me the reason
