In C Sharp, just like in C++ you can have classes with "methods" and "members" but the syntax is different.

Does anyone know how to declare a varable in a C# class so that it is accessable to other classes and code?

After I have declared a class, I have accessed the methods of the class as it appears in intellisense type as I type the class name and then a dot. But the declared members of the class does not appear.
 
You need to learn how to use get and set within C#, to access public data variables. Google for it, you will get awesome answers. Or even better, http://stackoverflow.com/ and look for your programming questions there.

I will take a look.

In the meantime:

What is the point of using set and get in C Sharp?
It seems variables are used differently in this language than in C++.
For some reason, you have to have a static variable defined like this:
public static uint Somenum
{
set { m_somenum = value; }
get { return m_somenum; }
}
and prior to this declaration, you need to have this:
public uint m_sumenum;
This seems to be the only way to expose a member of a class to other classes in C#.
The problem is that I seem to be doing this improperly because I get a compile error:
An object reference is required for the non-static field, metod, or property '.......m_somenum"
 
Taking this article on classes and structs as an example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173109.aspx
Code:
namespace ProgrammingGuide
{
    // Class definition.
    public class MyCustomClass
    {
        // Class members:
        // Property.
        public int Number { get; set; }
        // Method.
        public int Multiply(int num)
        {
            return num * Number;
        }
        // Instance Constructor.
        public MyCustomClass()
        {
            Number = 0;
        }
    }
    // Another class definition. This one contains
    // the Main method, the entry point for the program.
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create an object of type MyCustomClass.
            MyCustomClass myClass = new MyCustomClass();
            // Set the value of a public property.
            myClass.Number = 27;
            // Call a public method.
            int result = myClass.Multiply(4);
        }
    }
}
suppose I wanted to make use of the "myClass" defined in the Main routine
elsewhere in the program as if it were a global class.
How would I do that?
I could do something like this:
Code:
class Program
{
    public MyCustomClass myClass;
    public Program()
    {
     // Create an object of type MyCustomClass.
     myClass = new MyCustomClass();
     // Set the value of a public property.
     myClass.Number = 27;
     // Call a public method.
     int result = myClass.Multiply(4);    
    }
    static void Main(string[] args)    
    {
     Program program = new Program();    
    }
}
but this leads me to this question. How would the code, access the "program" variable?
 
Your question does not make any sense.

but this leads me to this question. How would the code, access the "program" variable?

The program variable is instantiated. You can use it wherever you want as long as it is in scope.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
hello peeps... is been some time since i last came here.

Rest in peace my friend, been trying to find you and finally did in the worst way imaginable.
