Compiler Error CS0117

I have two Projects in one Solution and I want to call a Method from Project1 in Project 2. I already refered the Namespace of Project1 in Project2. The Method from Project1 looks like this:

public void pauseCapturing(bool checkPause)
    {
        if (checkPause)
        {
            backgroundThread.Suspend();
        }
        else
        {
            backgroundThread.Resume();
        }
    }

In Project2 I call that Method like that:

private void buttonPause_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        buttonPause.Enabled = false;

        NamespaceProject1.Class.pauseCapturing(true);
    }

When I try to run the code i get the following error:

Error 1 'NamespaceProject1.Class' does not contain a definition for 'pauseCapturing'

I didn't really found a helpful answer to solve my problem.

you need to create an instance for accessing the methods declared in another class.

in your case you have created method pauseCapturing() as an non-static method hence need an instance to call it.

Note : if the method is declared as a static then you can use class name to access it.

Try This:

NamespaceProject1.Class obj=new NamespaceProject1.Class();
obj.pauseCapturing(true);
