using variables from another class

scott oliver

Hello all, I am having some problems. I cannot recall how to use a variable from another method in the same class. I have a basic form at this point and I am trying to set up a progress bar. I have 3 classes the form.cs, otcFetch.cs, and progress.cs.

In otcFetch.cs I am using rest sharp to go out and download a csv file and it inserts it into a sqlLite database.Here it is taking the csv file and seperating it for insertion.

string[] strSeparators = new string[] { "\r\n" };
string[] Lines = response.Content.Split(strSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None);
string[] Fields;
//update console
Console.WriteLine("Updating Database!");
//set value from number of lines in csv
int numLines = Lines.Length;

It is inside this

public void otcRestClient() { }

I want to use the numLines value in another method in the same class. This variable will update my progress bar based on the number of lines in the CSV file. It will not allow me to use it though and not sure why. Any advise would be appreciated.

public class Variables
{
public static int taskSize = otcFetch.Variables.THE VARIABLE WILL NOT LIST HERE???;
public static int totalSize
{
get { return taskSize; }
set { taskSize = value; }
}
}

Public Class MyClass
{
public int TotalSize {get;set;}

Public Void OtcRestClient()
{
    string[] strSeparators = new string[] { "\r\n" };
    string[] Lines = response.Content.Split(strSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None);
    string[] Fields;
    //update console
    Console.WriteLine("Updating Database!");
    //set value from number of lines in csv
   TotalSize  = Lines.Length;  //  set value here
}

Public void Progress()
{
int size=TotalSize  // get value here
// do your processing
}

You cannot call non static method from a static function. Make your method static and return type to int and return the numLines variable. public static int otcRestClient()
