Diclaring class level variable

[chandu]

Hello,

declaring class level variables is good approach or not in c#.

in C++ we used prefer diclaring class level variables more than local
variables.

i had a discussion with somebody that in C# it is disadvantage to diclare
class level variables

so clarify it .

Why? Usually, you pick as narrow scope as possible to prevent
accidental use of variables.

Hi chandu,

you are comparing very different things. Local variable and class level
variables simply have different meanings. Could you give me an example,
where a local variable could be used instead of a class level variable? I
can't think how this is possible.

public class Foo
{
private string foobar; <---- class level variable or local by
your definition?
}

It's a bit like asking whether you should use a file or a database - it
entirely depends on what you're doing. If something is naturally part
of the state of the class, it can't be a local variable. If it isn't
part of the state, it shouldn't be a class variable.
