Question

I’m trying to write the status of the program to the user. But my method to do so doesn’t work. statusBox is a textbox windows form.

   public static void writetoStatus(string text)
        {
            TextBox statusBox = new TextBox(); 
            statusBox.Text = text;
        }

Help please!

You can’t access instance variables with a static method. I can’t think of a way that statusBox would not be an instance member. Try making your method non-static and it should be fine.
