Question

It seems like it should be simple enough, but im having trouble wrapping my brain around it. Normally you would declare an object in one of a couple ways

ClassName a;
a = new ClassName();

or

ClassName a = new ClassName();

etc…

but since you’re explicitly declaring these at compile time i get confused when Im supposed to code this to happen at runtime. What I want to do is have a new instance of the Class instantiated when a button is clicked. But what I’m not grasping here is how is the object name going to be named if this is happening on button click?

Answer 1

Even worse, Objects don’t have a Name at all.
The variable you are naimg is the reference to the object.

It matters what you decide the object will belong to:

void ButtonClick_H1(...)
{
  ClassName a;          //local variable
  a = new ClassName();  // object belongs to this method
}


private  ClassName anObject;   // class field
void ButtonClick_H2(...)
{ 
  anObject = new ClassName();  // object belongs to  'this' Form
}
