CS0120: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'foo'

Question

Consider:

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            


        

Answer 1

Credit to @COOLGAMETUBE for tipping me off to what ended up working for me. His idea was good but I had a problem when Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault was called after the form was already created. So with a little change, this is working for me:

static class Program
{
    public static Form1 form1; // = new Form1(); // Place this var out of the constructor


    /// 

    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// 
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(form1 = new Form1());
    }
}
