Question

Please excuse my ignorance, I am transitioning from VB6 to C# (very steep learning curve). I have googled this to death and I am not able to figure this out. I instantiated a Class on my main form:

namespace App1_Name
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public cConfig Config = new cConfig();
    }
}

In my Config Class I am instantiating two other classes:

namespace App1_Name
{
    class cConfig
    {
        //Properties
        public cApplication Application = new cApplication();
    }
}

In my cApplications Class I have the following:

namespace App1_Name
{
    class cApplication
    {
        //Properties
        public string ApplicationName { get { return "App Name"; } }
    }
}

So in another class I am looking to use the class I instantiated on Form1 as so:

namespace App1_Name
{
    class cXML
    {
        public void Method1()
        {
            Console.WriteLine(Config.Application.ApplicationName);)
        }
     }
}

But I am getting an error that states “Config” doesn’t exist in the current context, what am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Don’t you miss instance of Form1?

Form1 form = new Form1();    
Console.WriteLine(form.Config.Application.ApplicationName);

because you are working with properties… not static classes and static methods.
