.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / March 2006static class Program in Program.cs in VS 2005
When you create a new windows application in VS 2005, you have a Program.cs file which declares the class Program as static. Is there any reason that this MUST be static? I want to take the work static out so that I can declare a variable that is a member of Program so that it can be accessed globally by all other forms in the project. Any forseeable problems in doing this? > When you create a new windows application in VS 2005, you have a > Program.cs file which declares the class Program as static.

Any > forseeable problems in doing this? I have removed the static attribute from this class and see no problems with doing so. The main() method must remain static, I believe. Of course, while I don't recommend the practice, you should be able to simply add a static variable to the class as-is. With the correct scope, it could be visible by callers in your application. Thanks for the reply. Any specific reason you wouldnt recommend this? > When you create a new windows application in VS 2005, you have a > Program.cs file which declares the class Program as static.

Any > forseeable problems in doing this? You can do what you want with it as it is never regenerated and there is no magic about it. I would suggest however that instead you create your own class and view Program as a bit of template magic. That way, if MS, should decide to put anything else in there in the future it will not cause a problem. | I would suggest however that instead you create your own class and view | Program as a bit of template magic.
