[Solved] Console App error An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property

by


I agree with the other commentors- what’s really missing here is an understanding of what the static keyword means and what it means to instantiate objects.

The specific issue here is that your Program class’s fields requires an instance before they can be accessed (Program and it’s fields are not static) while your Main method is static.

In other words either:

  1. Change Program and it’s fields to static: static class Program

  2. Instantiate Program in LoadSettings before using it:

    static void LoadSettings()
{
    //...
    Program p = new Program();
    p.txtUserName = vals[0];
    //...
}
