Question

For some reason even though I have declared a string in Program.cs static and public, when I reference it in another class e.g. Class1.cs, it does not find it:

Program.cs

public static string fileName = "test.txt";

Class1.cs

    XElement address = new XElement("PingResults",
        new XElement("NameoFile", fileName),
        new XElement("URL", test),
        new XElement("Time", test2)
    );

I have also tried using Class1.fileName, but no luck.. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You have defined fileName in the class Program. Therefore you should access it via Program.fileName.

Side note: fileName doesn’t follow .NET naming standards. use FileName instead!
