How to access method from a different class

Question

3.33/5 (3 votes)

See more:

C#

public class CaseStageTransitionControlModel : ControlModel // *
{
    CaseStageTransitionControlModel x = new CaseStageTransitionControlModel();
}

In the above I'm creating an instance of that class *. It even let me did that. Now I'm trying to access a method of that class. So when i type x, I don't see any intellisense giving me any option to choose.

Why is that?
How can i access that method?

Most of the time i find problem with instantiating an object of a different class in c# why is that too?

check the access modifiers of your method.. the method should be publicly accessible to be seen in intelicense.

make your methods public, like

C#

public string myMethod(string param1)
{
    //do something...
    return "Hello";
}

notice the public keyword in the start of the method signature.

mark as answer if solves your problem

an example:

C#

class Program
{

    static void Main()
    {
        CaseStageTransitionControlModel x = new CaseStageTransitionControlModel();
        x.Method();
        

    }
}
public class CaseStageTransitionControlModel : ControlModel // *
{
    public void Method()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("yes sir!");
    }
}

one way you can do this is to make a new object of your class (SomeClass name = new SomeClass("Construters"); and then call the method like this: name.YourMethodsnamehere(variables here if you need any); BUT REMEMBER you can ONLY do this if you have set the class and method to public otherwise you cant access them from outside their own class.

Solution 1

This problem is so ordinary in programming:)

Must set your class function to public method by "public" word for access to it!
