Cannot access property of class

Question

I am writing some generic classes that i'd like to use in some of my apps. For example this socket class:

public class jSocket
{
    public class Server
    {
        public static _Settings Settings = new _Settings();
        public class _Settings
        {
            private int _Listen;
            public int Listen
            {
                get
                {
                    return _Listen;
                }
                set
                {
                    _Listen = value;
                }
            }

            private int _Port;
            public int Port
            {
                get
                {
                    if (_Port == 0)
                        _Port = 1337;
                    return _Port;
                }
                set
                {
                    _Port = value;
                }
            }

            private IPEndPoint _localEndPoint;
            public IPEndPoint localEndPoint
            {
                get
                {
                    if(_localEndPoint == null)
                        _localEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(Tools.getLocalIPAddress(), Port);
                    return _localEndPoint;
                }
                set
                {
                    _localEndPoint = value;
                }
            }
      }

      public void Start()
      {
           //Do work
      }
}

Now in my application i instantiate the class:

jSocket.Server newServ = new jComp.jSocket.Server();

But why can't I access the Properties of Settings? What I want to do is this:

newServ.Settings.Port = 1001;

Do I need to write constructors for every field?

Answer 1

Setting field is static, you need to remove static and make it an instance field.So then it will belong to your instance and you will be able to access it.

public _Settings Settings = new _Settings();
