Passing variable values between methods…?

Question

Can someone help me with passing values from one class method to another in c#. I\'ve tried looking it up, but I get lost in pages of code and I cant find a simple example. Take

First you need to actually store the variable somewhere. Right now it's a local variable in the method, so it will go away right after you have assigned the value to it.

Make it a property in the class, and make the method an instance method instead of a static method:

namespace simplecode
{
    public class Values
    {

        public string MyName { get; set; }

        public void getName()
        {
            Console.Clear();
            Console.Write("Enter name: ");
            MyName = Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Now you can call the method and pick up the value afterwards:

namespace simplecode
{

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Values myValues = new Values();
            myValues.getName();
            Console.WriteLine(myValues.MyName);
        }
    }
}
