instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead

Static member 'vuePMAcfg.pmaD ataHash.pmaData Hash1' cannot
be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a
type name instead

OK I have this class And the hash and the function shows
up in type ahead. I tried declaring it and later accessing
it like this:

private vuePMAcfg.pmaDa taHash pmaDataObj;
....
pmaDataShareArr ay.Add(pmaDataO bj.pmaDataHash1 );

But I get the error above ... if I try
private vuePMAcfg.pmaDa taHash pmaDataObj = new
vuePMAcfg.pmaDa taHash(); ... I get the same error.

What does the error mean and how do I get to the items &
function ??? Thanks

public class pmaDataHash
{
public pmaDataHash()
{
}
public static Hashtable pmaDataHash1 = new
Hashtable();
public string GetFolderByleve l(string filePath,int level)
}

Hi andrew,

The static methods/properties or variables need to be qualified with the
class name:

pmaDataShareArr ay.Add(pmaDataO bj.pmaDataHash1 ) needs to be written like:
pmaDataShareArr ay.Add( pmaDataHash.pma DataHash1);

See that the pmaDataHash1 belong to the class as a whole, ont to a
particular instance, therefore all the instances(objec ts of type
pmaDataHash) will share the same pmaDataHash1.

What is what you are trying to do anyway?

Hope this help,

Hello Andrew,

The error message already showed where the problem is.

In the code, the pmaDataHash1 is a static member of pmaDataHash class, it
must be refer to by pmaDataHash's static function and it must be associated
with this type, not an instance of this type.

In your code listed out, I can not find the place you refer to pmaDataHash1
data member, but from the error message, you maybe associate it with an
instance.

Hope this helps.
