Question

I have the following:

    public ActionResult GetRpt(string pNum)
    {
      string dirPath = "C:\\Folder1";
      string pvtResult =  GetType1Report(pNum);
    }

    private string GetType1Reportt(string paslNum)
    {
      string dPath = dirPath;          
     }    

I need to access dirPath from within GetType1Report.

I get a mesage that dirPath does not exist in GetPReport.

What is the best way of accessing dirPath from withing GetPReport? I was thinking about having this as a public static but wasn’t sure if this is the best way of going about it.

Answer 1

You don’t need to use a public static variable for this. If you declare the variable as private outside of your methods, you’ll still be able to access the variable within your methods.

public class myClass
{
    private string dirPath;

    public ActionResult GetRpt(string pNum)
    {
      dirPath = "C:\\Folder1";
      string pvtResult =  GetType1Report(pNum);
    }

    private string GetType1Reportt(string paslNum)
    {
      dPath = dirPath;          
    }   
}
