public variable reference issue - help (noob)

[Dan]

Here is the code. If I rem out the first line, everything works, but
I can't reference the myVariables object in later methods (form
events). If I leave it in, and remove the declaration line in the
Main method, I get an error (Error 1 An object reference is required
for the nonstatic field, method, or property
'RLPI.Subscriptions.Explorer.myVariables'). How do I refence a
varialbe accross methods, within a class?

Thanks.

public BaseVariables myVariables = new BaseVariables();

public static void Main()
{
BaseVariables myVariables = new BaseVariables();
myVariables.connectionString =
"server=SQLDB.RL.INT;database=Subs_Dev;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
myVariables.LoadSqlConnection();



Application.Run(new Explorer());
}

your "Main" method is static, so you'll need any member variables that
it uses to also be static. add the static keyword to your variable
declaration.

Guess this should ideally be in the VB forumn, but i'll try to give it a shot.
Have you tried :
//Declaration
public BaseVariables myVariables;

public static void Main()
{
//instantiate
myVariables = new BaseVariables();
myVariables.connectionString =
"server=SQLDB.RL.INT;database=Subs_Dev;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
myVariables.LoadSqlConnection();



Application.Run(new Explorer());
}

??? Why? The original code was not VB.
