Calling method from one class to the other in Static

Question

Hello! I have a method in a public class static void Input () { // Coding here } and I was wondering if it is possible for me to call that static method over to another class. I tried this: Input inp = new Input ( ); inp.Start(); but it doesn't seem to work (The type or namespace name Input could not be found).

class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Test t = new Test(); t.Start(); } } public class Test { static double _fromF; public void Start() { Test.FirstInput(); } static void FirstInput() { Console.Write(Enter number : ); _fromF = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine()); Console.WriteLine({0} _fromF); Console.Read(); } }

Hi The static member (methods fields properties or events) is callable on a class even when no instance of the class has been created. The static member is always accessed by the class name not the instance name. Only one copy of a static member exists regardless of how many instances of the class are created. you have to use Input.Start(); hope this will help you.

Thank you! I got it now~! XD

Static member gets called when the instance of the class is created and it is accessed by the class name rather then creating object and object.InstanceName. Try to call directly

no need of creating Instance Song lee you can do in this way: public class ClassData { public static string sr(string str) { string newString = Dee + str; return newString; } public static void sr2(ref string str) { str = Dee; } public ClassData() { } } public class App { public static void Main(string[] args) { string str = ClassData.sr(Hello);// calling directly without creating instance Console.WriteLine(str); // Produces DeeHello as output string hello = Hello; ClassData.sr2(ref hello); Console.WriteLine(hello); // Produces Dee as output } }

I'm sorry but it's still not working for me >. public class Input { static double fromF; public void Start() { FirstInput(); } static void FirstInput() { Console.Write( Enter number :  ); double .TryParse( Console .ReadLine() out fromF); } /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I need this method called to another class. it's so~ confusing because i am not sure if Static void FirstInput() needs to be double or string.
