Question

I am getting errors on variables FaxPro, EmailPro, FaxStat, and EmailStat.

while (reader.Read())
{
    string CustNo = reader["CUSTNO"].ToString();
    string Phone = reader["PHONE"].ToString();
    string Fax = reader["FAX"].ToString();
    string Email = reader["PRI_EMAIL"].ToString();
    string Type = reader["TYPE"].ToString();

    if (Type.Contains("H"))
    {
        if (Type.Contains("F"))
        {
            string FaxStat = "Y";
            string FaxPro = "PENDING";
        }
        else
        {
            string FaxStat = "N";
            string FaxPro = "NONE";
        }
        if (Type.Contains("E"))
        {
            string EmailStat = "Y";
            string EmailPro = "PENDING";
        }
        else
        {
            string EmailStat = "N";
            string EmailPro = "NONE";
        }
//outbox
// id, account, type, title, number, fax, email, faxpro, emailpro, faxstat, emailstat, filepath, datesent

        MySqlCommand mycommand = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO outbox (id, account, type, title, number, fax, email, faxpro, emailpro, faxstat, emailstat, filepath, datesent) VALUES('0','" + CustNo + "', 'CUSTOMER', 'test', '" + Phone + "', '" + Fax + "', '" + Email + "', '" + FaxPro + "', '" + EmailPro + "', '" + FaxStat + "', '" + EmailStat + "', 'test', NOW())", conn);
  mycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

Errors are:

The name ‘FaxPro’ does not exist in the current context C:…\Form2.cs

… and so on for EmailPro, FaxStat, and EmailStat.

Answer 1

The declaration of the variables is out of scope. They are declared in the if statement. Move the declaration to an outer scope like that:

while (reader.Read()) 
{ 
    string CustNo = reader["CUSTNO"].ToString(); 
    string Phone = reader["PHONE"].ToString(); 
    string Fax = reader["FAX"].ToString(); 
    string Email = reader["PRI_EMAIL"].ToString(); 
    string Type = reader["TYPE"].ToString(); 

    string FaxStat = string.Empty;
    string FaxPro = string.Empty;
    string EmailStat = string.Empty; 
    string EmailPro = string.Empty; 
    if (Type.Contains("H")) 
    { 
        if (Type.Contains("F")) 
        { 
            FaxStat = "Y"; 
            FaxPro = "PENDING"; 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            FaxStat = "N"; 
            FaxPro = "NONE"; 
        } 
        if (Type.Contains("E")) 
        { 
            EmailStat = "Y"; 
            EmailPro = "PENDING"; 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            EmailStat = "N"; 
            EmailPro = "NONE"; 
        } 
        //outbox 
        // id, account, type, title, number, fax, email, faxpro, emailpro, faxstat, emailstat, filepath, datesent 

        MySqlCommand mycommand = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO outbox (id, account, type, title, number, fax, email, faxpro, emailpro, faxstat, emailstat, filepath, datesent) VALUES('0','" + CustNo + "', 'CUSTOMER', 'test', '" + Phone + "', '" + Fax + "', '" + Email + "', '" + FaxPro + "', '" + EmailPro + "', '" + FaxStat + "', '" + EmailStat + "', 'test', NOW())", conn); 
        mycommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
