C# help (jayfella / hyperz)

[Hyperz]

You can use 'this' but not to access static members. And only the programs entry point is required to be static. The rest is up to you.

PS: msdn.com

[jayfella]

dont ask me about all that lol. Ask me how, ill show you, ask me all those questions, ill give you "the face" - a.k.a. -

[litewarez]

ya static = method thats not able to be called from an "instance".

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Litewarez
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            object Output = new Output(); /*Just learning multiple objects*/
            Output.Send("This is a test"); /*This i expect to work be C# sharp goes nooo noo no*/
        }
    }

    class Output 
    {
        public void Send(string Text)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(Text);
        }
    }
} 

Heres the error, i have tried myself so please don't be like bitch gtfo. i you for helping

'object' does not contain a definition for 'Send' and no extension method 'Send' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[Hyperz]

no, static has nothing to do with the class. What you describe is a 'sealed class'.

Also:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Litewarez
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Output op = new Output(); /*Just learning multiple objects*/
            op.Send("This is a test"); /*This i expect to work be C# sharp goes nooo noo no*/
        }
    }

    class Output 
    {
        public void Send(string Text)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(Text);
        }
    }
}

I suggest you read a good eBook first. You don't fly a plane without knowing how to fly.

[litewarez]

See now Output op = new Output(); to me is pointless, it should automatically know that what object it is from the call.

Would you do

OtherOutput oop = new Output(); ??

yea i have a lot of books but i cant read xx

[Hyperz]

[type_name] [var_name] = new [type_name];

Don't try to apply PHP rules to C#. PHP is a dynamic language, C# a strongly typed one (meaning there is type safety). Again, ebook .

[litewarez]

No Hyperz, i wasn't trying to think like PHP on this bit, im just saying it seems Pointless to have.

[type_name] [var_name] = new [type_name];

because C# should know the type_name from the new [type_name] i don't get why we have to wrtie the object name 2 times as your only assigning a reference to a variable :/

Having:

[var_name] = new [type_name];

yype_name should already know its an instance of Output.

Theres more than likly a perfect excuse as Obv the main C# guys are way advanced i just don't know the reason why.. then again EBOOK loool

Thanks for the info tho!

Also my first bit of C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Litewarez
{
    class Program
    {
        
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Output Output = new Output();

            //Ask the Question
            Output.Send("Please Enter your name");

            //Get the name
            var name = Output.ReadInput();

            //Clear the screan from "login xD"
            Output.Clear();

            //Send a welcome message
            Output.Send("Welcome: " + name);

            //Chill out!
            Console.Read();
        }
    }

    class Output 
    {
        public void Send(string Text)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(Text + "\n");
        }
        public void Clear() 
        {
            Console.Clear();
        }
        public string ReadInput() 
        {
            return Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Again, C# is NOT a dynamic language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_safety

These are all the very basics. That's why I keep saying read an ebook. If you're not willing to do that you're never gonna be good at it. Asking us for help here and reading a tut here and there will not get you far. I know I might sound a bit harsh here but that's how it is. What you're asking here now is something that gets explained in the first pages of any good eBook.

And again, when dealing with C#, forget you ever learned PHP because you'll get confused trying to apply scripting logic to programming logic.

[litewarez]

Ok i will, Try.

And yea i will read Professional C# 2008 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/047019137...ackoverfl08-20)

ill print it at Work looooooooool

[Whoo]

I was just about to post the same thing. You should really start out with the basics before coding anything serious lol

EDIT: If you can't find a good eBook PM me Ill try and get the one I had in college.
