Global Objects inside User Controls?

[note: I am relatively new to ASP.NET, so I'm very possibly doing something
stupid or overlooking something obvious. Please be forgiving, and walk me
through your answer as much as possible. Much appreciated.]

Here is the situation. I'm developing an application where:

I have defined a class (DBClass) to provide an abstraction layer for
interacting with a database. When an instance of the class is created, it
creates a connection to the database. My initial plan was that, at the very
top of each page I would:
1) include the DBClass class file, so the page knows about the class
2) create an instance of DBClass, which I call DB.
My thought was, once the DB instance was created, I would be able to use it
anywhere on the page.

However, on the page I am also making use of a "user control". This user
control has to have access to the database. When I simply reference DB in
the control file, the compiler complains, because I have not created the
instance DB in the control file.

I'm sure I'm probably just approaching this the wrong way or leaving out
something obvious.... can anyone help?

This NG is classic ASP.

Please try a dotnet group.
