How to reference a string from another class?

[ckruger]

I'm in one class and would like to use a string that was defined in another class. Ho to...

[Vikram A Punathambekar]

Is the string a static member or instance member? A static member can be referenced without object references like

MessageBox.Show(ClassWithString.MyString);

If it's an instance member, you have to create an instance and then refer to it like

ClassWithString cws = new ClassWithString();
MessageBox.Show(cws.MyString);

Of course, I'm assuming that ClassWithString is accessible from your code and that the string is public. HTH. :) Cheers, Vikram.
