Question

I don’t get it. I added an asp:Label in my aspx. page:

<asp:Label runat="server" Text="" ID="lblStatus"></asp:Label>

then when I try to set the text in the code behind:

lblStatus.Text = " test";

, it gives me this error:

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Utilities_MoveFileTemplate.lblStatus'

I am trying to set the label’s text in the codehind after a stored procedure has run:

 try
                {
                    conn.Open();
                    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

                    lblStatus.Text = "success";
                }

removed “static” keyword and it worked

Answer 1

It looks like you are calling a non static property from a static method or in static class. You will need create an instance of Form.
