Number of references to class variable is incorrect

Question

I created a class level variable in the Program.cs file and use it 27 times within that file. I can do a search for the variable name and make sure spelling isn't an issue. If I go look at the number of times the variable has a reference as stated where it is defined, the number is 3. The variable is defined as private string, and I have another variable defined as such at the class level and all of its uses are counted correctly for its reference count.

Answer 1

Hi @Brown, Matt , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

So the issue is the op had defined a local variable with the same name.

Best Regards,
