Hi friends,
I have a C# application written in Visual Studio 2008 and it's solution consist of several projects. I have written a static method in a class as part of one of the projects and will want to access this static method in another project(the project containing the startup form). Please any form of help from anyone is welcome. Thank you.

I don't see any problem here, just add a reference to the project that contains the class with the static method and call your method like this:

C#

MyClass.MyStaticMethod()

Thanks Shameel for your immediate response and good solution. I had already done what you stated. The actual problem was with the scope of my static class. By default a any class added to a project is private so changing it to public did the trick. Poor me!!! I guess there is a lot to learn about Visual Studio. Thank you once again.

You're welcome. Btw, the default access modifier for any Type at the namespace level is 'internal' and not 'private' as you said. Nested classes are private by default since the default access modifier at the Type level is 'private'.

Don't add more access then required. Make a separate class with public access.
