Namespace problem

Question

Dear All,

I create a function "String()" and put it into a separate file "library.cs" and assign the same "namespace NewTims" to it. However, if I paste it into the same page where the "String()" function resides, it works.

Library.cs

Error

Answer 1

The String method is a member of the Library class. To use the method without creating an instance of the Library class make it a static method. Then, you can call it within the FillDataListView method -- Library.String(" ", 100)

Answer 2

String method you defined is a member function in the Library class. So you need to create the instance of Library class to call the String method.

Library lib = new Library();
lib.String(................);

Since the method you used is not dependent on any property of Library class, making it a static function will simplify the function call.

public static string String(.......)
{

}

Now you can clall this method as below.

Library.String(..........);
