Basically  you need to define it outside the if-else loop. Below code should work. int []dalil_sani={1557287}; int []takdil_syams; if (dalil_sani[0]==15) { takdil_syams= new int []{12351}; } else if (dalil_sani[0]==20) { takdil_syams= new int []{32546}; } Console.WriteLine( call it from Here. ) Please mark it as answer if it resolves the issue.

Hi You can't access the variables declared inside if else block from outside it. The lifetime of a variable is defined to be from the line where it is declared to the end of the current scope (the closing curly in most cases). So you can declare it before if else statement.
