static variable

[GittyP]

I created a static variable in a class, then I used it. the intelisence in the .Net editor showed this option, but the compiler asked for "an instance of an object" for a static field! I'm quit sure my code is written well and do not know what to do.

can you help?

class Test
{
public static string s;
}
 
class TestUser
{
Test.s="hello!"
}

for the last line I get the messege: "reference not set to an instance of an object"

1.) Are you sure that's the error that comes up with that code?
2.) You are missing a semi colon (;)
3.Hint) This works fine

class Test {
          public static string s;
      }
      class TestUser {
          static void Main() {
              Test.s = "hello!";
          }
      }
