How to reference a class that's been added to a C Sharp project
Please see the code below which includes two namespaces and two classes:
namespace GetProcessStats
{
class ProcessInfo
{
--------------------------
namespace GetProcessStats
{
namespace AutoWriteToFile
{
public static class FileWriter
{
--------------------------
I am having trouble accessing the FileWriter class from Main():
What am I missing?
namespace GetProcessStats
{
class ProcessInfo
{
--------------------------
namespace GetProcessStats
{
namespace AutoWriteToFile
{
public static class FileWriter
{
--------------------------
I am having trouble accessing the FileWriter class from Main():
...
using System.IO;
using GetProcessStats.AutoWriteToFile;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FileWriter FW = new FileWriter();
ProcessInfo WscriptInfo = new ProcessInfo();
WscriptInfo.GetProcess("D011", "mspaint");
FW.?????? ("", "");
}
}
What am I missing?

I think the problem is that you declared the FileWriter class as a "static" class. Hence you cannot create an instance of it with "new".
Is there a reason you want a static class? If so, you need to call the method like so:
FileWriter.WriteToFile(...
FileWriter.WriteToFile(...
So how should it look then, like this:
namespace AutoWriteToFile
{
public class FileWriter
{
// Set this to false to stop writing to file
public static bool _WriteToFile = true;
static void WriteToFile(string FileDest, string StrOutput)
{
TextWriter tw;
if (_WriteToFile)
That isn't the point.
The point is, you made a static class, then try to instantiate it. You cannot do that.
Whether you want the methods to be private is up to you. You need a way to use the class, don't you? If so, making a static class with all private methods is useless.

Even with your above change, you cannot cal WriteToFile() and there are no other methods or properties. So the class isn't of much use.
So what is the purpose of the class? What do you expect the user to do with the class.

My last post results in this error:
Error 1 'GetProcessStats.AutoWrite
Error 1 'GetProcessStats.AutoWrite
With this change:
public static void WriteToFile(string FileDest, string StrOutput)
I get:
Error 1 Member 'GetProcessStats.AutoWrite
For this line:
FW. WriteToFile("", "");
I thought the type was already defined by the use of:
FileWriter FW = new FileWriter();
public static void WriteToFile(string FileDest, string StrOutput)
I get:
Error 1 Member 'GetProcessStats.AutoWrite
For this line:
FW. WriteToFile("", "");

FileWriter FW = new FileWriter();
>>Well of course I want to use the class. The question is how.
By making methods that you need to call public.
By making methods that you need to call public.
You have 2 options:
1) Keep the class and method static, but make method public.
Then use it like so:
FileWriter.WriteToFile(...
2) Remove static from the class, fields and methods. There is no need to have static here if you want to instantiate the class.
Use it like so:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter();
fw.WriteToFile(...);

Ok, I straightened that out with:
public void WriteToFile(string FileDest, string StrOutput)
How about one more issue related to this class. I get this error for the 'finally' block:
Error 1 Use of unassigned local variable 'tw'
public void WriteToFile(string FileDest, string StrOutput)

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
// close the stream
tw.Close(); // ERROR ON THIS LINE ********************
}
Hi, by making it static you don't need an instance, you can call it by this way:
FileWriter.WriteToFile("",
FileWriter.WriteToFile("",
>>Error 1 Use of unassigned local variable 'tw'
That error is very clear. You've created a variable without assigning an object to it.
That error is very clear. You've created a variable without assigning an object to it.
And for solving tw problem, you can do:
TextWriter tw = null;
if (_WriteToFile)
{
try
{
// create a writer and open the file
tw = new StreamWriter(FileDest);
// write a line of text to the file
tw.WriteLine(StrOutput);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
// close the stream
if (tw ! = null)
tw.Close();
}
}
