Question

This is a simple program I created – one table class, one main class. In the table class I created a print method which simply outputs my name. From the main class I am calling the print method but not getting the output.

namespace ConsoleApplication3
{

    class table
    {

        public static void print()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("My name is prithvi-raj chouhan");
        }
    }

    class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            table t = new table();
            t.print();  // Error the program is not giving output while calling the print method

        }
    }


}

Answer 1

Since the function you are calling is static.
Use this syntax

public static void Main()
         { 
            table.print();     
         } 

Quote from MSDN:-

A static method, field, property, or event is callable on a class even
when no instance of the class has been created. If any instances of
the class are created, they cannot be used to access the static
member. Only one copy of static fields and events exists, and static
methods and properties can only access static fields and static
events. Static members are often used to represent data or
calculations that do not change in response to object state; for
instance, a math library might contain static methods for calculating
sine and cosine.
