Use object between multiple functions

Question

I am creating a spam email checker. One method scans the email, another adds a known flag to an array of words and phrases to check against; both methods are part of Teste

Answer 1

Move the Tester variable to the class field, like this:

public partial class Spam_Scanner : Form
{
    Tester scan;

    public Spam_Scanner()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        scan = new Tester();
    }

    private void testButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {            
        scan.tester(Convert.ToString(emailBox.Text));
        this.SpamRatingBox.Text = string.Format("{0:N1}%", Tester.countSpam / Tester.wordCount * 100);
        this.WordsBox.Text = Tester.posSpam;
        this.OutputPanal.Visible = true;
        this.pictureBox1.Visible = false;
    }

    private void addButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        scan.addSpam(Convert.ToString(addFlagBox.Text));
        this.addFlagBox.Text = "";
    }
}
