Creating a global variable how to ?

[Carlos]

Ok,
I am a VB developer but need to do a C# program, my question is how do I
decalre a global variable in c#, in VB.net I juest create a procedure an
declare my Variable as Public myVar and I can use it in all the program but
how can I do that inc C# ?

Thanks

public sealed class ApplicationVariables
{
private ApplicationVariables()
{
}

private static string stringVariable;
public static string StringVariable
{
get{return stringVariable;}
set{stringVariable = value;}
}
}

if its readonly you gain a bit performance by marking readonly. for example
:

public sealed class ApplicationVariables
{
private ApplicationVariables()
{
}

private static readonly string stringVariable =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettingsAppSetti ngs["StringVariable"];
public static string StringVariable
{
get{return stringVariable;}
}
}

compiler will optimise this.

Just create a public variable or property (of the desired type) inside a
public class and start using it by qualifying with namspace name (if in a
different namespace) and class name.

Ok I do the following
MySpace.MyClass. but I do not see me public variable defined in my public
class ?

Did you declare you variable as public? Here is an example (both in the same
namespace):

public class MyClass
{
public int MyIntVar = 0;
public static string MyMsg = "Hello";
}

public class AnotherClass
{
public void AnotherClassMethod()
{
MyClass m = new MyClass();
Console.WriteLine (m.MyIntVar);
Console.WriteLine (MyClass.MyMsg);
}
}

If the variables are public and static then they can be accessed without
instantiating the containing class (MyMsg in the above example).

Yes, but when you do a new do not you loose the previous value ?

Yes, each instance get a new value. If you need to retain values, then go
for static variables, which can be accessed without instantiation.

siva, marking class sealed prevents inheriting from that class and causes
some compiler optimizations. providing private constructor prevents this
class to be instantinated as all methods - members will be static. expanding
fields to outside of the class making the field public is not a good
practice. encapsulating with properties is better. if properties just
returns-sets specific fields, compiler is clever enough to give access to
field directly behind the scenes..
