dot NET DLL for use with VBA - Reference the vba created class within the C# class?

Question

Have a class that I can call from vba, so far so good. I need to refer to the new instance of the class that was created in vba and not make a new class.
I'll try to illustrate (I did not include the Com statements as this is just an simplified example)

Given the following code:

VBA CODE

Private WithEvents MyClass

Private Sub MyCommand_Click()
Set c = New MyClass
MsgBox c.i
Set c = Nothing
End Sub

C# CODE

public class MyClass
{
public int i;

public static void Main()
{
    var mc = new MyClass();   <<<<< This is the crux of the question- see below
    mc.i = 10;
}

}

In the main() function, I need to refer to the class that was already created by the VBA call.
I don't want to create yet another instance.

In pseudo-code, it might look something like this: Set mc = "the class created in VBA"

How to deal with this? Sorry, I know this seems very basic, but I am an old man who last played with vb.6. Feel free to tell me I'm doing it all wrong.

If you declare it like this:

public class MyClass
{
   public int i;

   public void Main()
   {
      . . .
   }
}

then you can call it using c.Main( ) from VBA. Inside the Main and other members, use this to refer to the current object (created in VBA), for example: this.i = 10.
