Calling a method in an embedded Class from the Primary Class
Hi Everyone. I'm using Visual Studio 2017 and have found an issue in debugging that I need help with. I've embedded a Class in my Primary Class, and have tried to call a method found in that embedded class, but VS gives me an error (a squiggly red line under the name of the method, like it can't be found).
How do I call a method in my embedded Class from my Primary Class? Can someone explain to me why my Primary Class can't "see" the methods in the embedded Class? I'll continue to search through the related articles on this site and other threads to find an answer as well.
The version of .Net I'm using is 4.7.03056. I'm also including a screen print of the Visual Studio app with my code. Thanks!

Welcome aboard. Please post the code using code tags - the code is too hard to read in the screenshot.

Re: Calling a method in an embedded Class from the Primary Class
Thanks for the tip Arjay Here's the code for the Click Event I use to call the method...
Code:
Private Sub BtnPsBackup_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BtnPsBackup.Click
Select Case BtnPsBackup.Text
Case "Pause Plan"
BtnPsBackup.Text = "Start Plan"
StopWatcher(LstBxBaseBackup.SelectedItem.ToString(), LstBxTargetBackup.SelectedItem.ToString())
End Select
End Sub
Last night I decided to take the other class definition out of my primary class and enclose it in a namespace, then imported it into my primary class instead. I still couldn't call the method I needed, though. Here's the other method I'm trying to call:
Code:
Public Sub StopWatcher(fswBase As String, fswTarget As String)
If Me.Prompt IsNot Nothing Then
Me.Prompt.AppendText(String.Format("Logger Stop Time: {0}" +
Environment.NewLine, DateTime.UtcNow.ToString()))
End If
plnPair(0) = fswBase
plnPair(1) = fswTarget
For Each plnPath As String In plnPair
Me.BeginInit()
Me.Path = plnPath
Me.EnableRaisingEvents = False
Me.EndInit()
Next
End Sub

Re: Calling a method in an embedded Class from the Primary Class
Hi, I've been looking around for answers to this issue, and I think I've found what I'm looking for. I've found that importing a namespace does not make the methods of that class immediately available to the primary class. The imported class has to be instantiated in an object to make those methods available to the primary class; for instance, I had to create an object as:
Code:
Dim FSWatcher As Watcher
Watcher being the imported class. After instantiating it that way, I could call my method as:
Code:
FSWatcher.StopWatcher(LstBxBaseBackup.SelectedItem.ToString(), LstBxTargetBackup.SelectedItem.ToString())
Thanks for anyone looking at this issue. This seems to have solved the issue
