how to setup static variable at program load

[siilexx]

Hello,

I'd like to setup a static variable at program load, depending on data saved in a text file.

It's currently hardcoded :
internal static int ApplicationVersion=3;
And I use it to declare my arrays of objects,... :
internal Button[,] ButtonDays = new Button[ApplicationVersion, 7];

How can I update the "ApplicationVersion" once at the startup of the program, so that the whole declarations are also setup accordingly ?

Thank you

All you need to do is set your ApplicationVersion before you do your declarations. If you did it in your constructor for your main form, you could always do...

internal static int ApplicationVersion = -1;
 
public MyObject()
{
  if (ApplicationVerson == -1)
    ApplicationVersion = GetApplicationVersion();
 
  SetUpObjects(ApplicationVersion);
}

Is that what you meant? If you really wanted, you could always throw ApplicationVersion on a global static class and set it in Program.cs before your application is even run.
