c# - Error Unless Declared Static -

if have class,any member in don't declare static have error if reference inside class:

an object reference required non-static field, method, or property

what doing wrong?

you error if accessing instance method static context. example

public class dog {   public void speak(){ console.writeline( "bark" ); }    public static void kickdog(){      speak(); // <- error here   } } 

instead need create instance of class

public static void kickdog() {   new dog().speak(); } 

however, mix-up might suggest misunderstanding of c# semantics , i'd recommend picking 1 of intro c# books on amazon better understanding.
