Referencing non-static fields from static functions and vice versa impossible?

Question

I want to programmatically determine the space I\'ve got for some controls I want to create dynamically. So, I want to get the container\'s height and divide it by the number of

Answer 1

pass dynamicPanel as parameter to static method

public partial class CRLoginsMainForm : Form {

  int controlHeight = getControlHeightToUse(dynamicPanel);

change getControlHeightToUse as below

private static int getControlHeightToUse(Panel panel) {
  return (panel.Height / NUMBER_OF_ROWS);
}

if you want to call non static method from static method you can do as below

public class Foo
{
    // public method 
    public void Method1()
    {
    }

    public static void Data2()
    {
        // call public method from static method
        new Foo().Method1();

    }
}
