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?
