How to access fields from another class

Question

Hello I have a WPF/C# application with 2 windows. I am trying to access a

public int myInt;

in my MainWindow from my OtherWindow:

Answer 1

You need to declare it as static as you don't access it via an instance, but via class name. That said, it is usually not considered good design to expose fields publicly.

Answer 2

You either need to have an object:

MainWindow mw = new MainWindow();
mw.myInt = 3 

Or you need to make rour field static

public static int myInt;

and call it like your are already doing:

MainWindow.myInt =3;
