[Solved] members of class being overwritten when new instance created c++/cli

Question

So, it turns out that the problem was with declaring the array static in the class. Apparently what I actually wanted was to declare the variable but create it in the initialization function. I had tried this earlier, but the compiler choked and I thought that there was a problem with doing it this way. But, once I was determined that this was the solution I was able to make it work. Static means that the memory is the same for all instances of the class which is a convenient way to share data common to all instances of a class. I realized that I could use this for another array in the same class that would no longer need to be read in each time.
