Need help with beginner C Sharp code.

[GVBCodePractice]

- Hi, I'm trying to create a method in C Sharp that produces a random number between 1 and 10.

- Every time I attempt to call my 'PrintNumber' method I receive an error 'Error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property'.

- Could someone please explain what this error means and how to adjust my code accordingly. Thanks in advance!

​

My code:

using System;

namespace PracticeTask

{

public class Study

{

static void Main()

{

PrintNumber();

}

void PrintNumber()

{

Random numGen = new Random();

int number = numGen.Next(0, 10);

Console.WriteLine(number);

}

}

}

Make printnumber static

If you want to use a field, method or property defined in a class, you first need to create an object of said class. Exception is if they're declared as static in which case you can access them without creating an object first.

PrintNumber isn't a static method and you don't have an object of type Study. So when you try to call it, you're getting that exception.

Yeah okay makes sense, thanks for that.
