Question

I am trying to call a static function from a class but the intellisense is not picking it up?

the function return

 public static ArrayList GetInfo(int infoID)

and i am calling from somewhere else in another class, I was trying to do something like

var myitem = myClassName.GetInfo(x);

but intelisense doesnt pick it up… as I type myClassName.

How can i call it? if at all possible

PS: I cant change the signature of the method :(.

Answer 1

normally you do have a namespace as well, plus that static method has to be inside it’s own class, for example, something like:

namespace MyHelpers {

    public static class ArrayHelpers {

        public static ArrayList GetInfo(int infoID) { ... }
    }
}

now, no matter where you are in your application, and if that library is referenced to your current project you simply call it

ArrayList myitem = MyHelpers.ArrayHelpers.GetInfo(x);

remember that you need to give the full path and if your namespace is called namespace Model.Helpers { ...

then the full path will be:

ArrayList myitem = Model.Helpers.ArrayHelpers.GetInfo(x);

is you are using the using declaration

using Model.Helpers;

you can use

ArrayList myitem = ArrayHelpers.GetInfo(x);
