Calling functions in another form.

Question

form1:
public static void Method1()
{
Method2();
}
private void Method2()
{
}
form2:
form1.Method1(); Calling Method2() gives:
Error    1    An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property

Sam Hobbs · Answer

The fundamental problem is that Method1 is static and Method2 is not.

Look at this
namespace StaticMethod
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
public static void Method1()
{
Form1 Fm1Instance = new Form1 (); // need instance
Fm1Instance.Method2();
}
private void Method2()
{
MessageBox .Show( "Method2" );
}
public static void Method3()
{
Method4(); // can call static
}
public static void Method4()
{
MessageBox .Show( "Method4" );
}
private void bttnShowForm2_Click( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 fm2 = new Form2 ();
fm2.Show();
}
private void bttnmethod1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Method1();
}
private void bttnMethod4_Click( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Method3();
}
}
}
Form2-------------
namespace StaticMethod
{
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form2_Load( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void bttnMethod1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 .Method1();
}
}
}
