Hi,
It would help if you post real code :
call method2(pass obj1)
I don't think this will compile at all
Now, regarding your problem I bet it's cause property1 is read only , it
does have a get but not a set
cheers,

Hi Ignacio. Thanks for the reply.
I did paste the actual code at the end of the post. As you may see, the
property in question (Age) is public and has a set method. Still stumped.

One place you surely will get the access violation error is the PassTimeYears() method where you are incrementing the age. The Human type you have defined has two members with the same name, different case though - age variable, which is private in this case and Age property which is public and has a Getter and Setter. You are trying to increment the value of the private variable instead of the property and hence the error. Correct the case and you will accessing the property instead and no error this time. You have followed the coding standard in which we don't directly expose class member variables to the outside world, instead wrap it around with properties the way you have done. I think you should follow a naming convention which is better than the difference in case thing you have now, prefix an _ or something for your private members, that would be much better.

It looks like a spelling error.
In 'PassTimeYears'
you are increming 'age' not 'Age'
AHuman.age++,
rather than
AHuman.Age++
One way to avoid situations like this is to use a naming convention for
the member variables. For an amount of the C# code samples out there
you will see somthing like
Class Human {
int _age;
Public int Age {
Get{ ... }
Set{ ... }
}
};
it is not the only way and some people disagre with the practice but it
can help, especially those coming from non-case sensitive backgrounds.
Also, other items
Why is GodSays() static, whilst PassTheYears() is not? Does
PassTheYears() work?
Alan.
Hi,
Sorry, I did not see it
The error is pretty obvious, age (with lowercase ) is private Age (with
uppercase) is public, you are making reference to the private member, not
the public one
remember that c# is case sensitive.

There are two problems:
1) You're trying to access the variable, not the property - the
variable is called age, the property is called Age.
2) You're trying to access PassYears as if it were a static method, but
it's not.
