Error 1 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'ConsoleApplication_FileTest.Program.GetAverageSalary(string)' C:\Users\Dawn\documents\visual studio 11\Projects\ConsoleApplication_FileTest\ConsoleApplication_FileTest\Program.cs 98 24 ConsoleApplication_FileTest static void Main(string[] args)
{
GetAverageSalary is a non-static method. Main is a static method. You can't call a non-static method from a static method.
More correctly, you can't call a non-static method from a static method without a class instance.
i.e.
class Thing
{
public static void DoStuff()
{
}
public /* not static */ void DoMoreStuff()
{
}
}
class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
Thing.DoStuff(); // ok
Thing.DoMoreStuff(); // not ok
// should be
var thingy = new Thing();
thingy.DoMoreStuff();
}
}
if you think programming is like sex, you probably haven't done much of either.-------------- - capn_midnight
