I'm learning c# and having some trouble understanding implementation of classes.

Below is a simple program i was writing to use classes. it takes your name and age, stores them in a class and displays them.

// Namespace Declaration
using System;
public class CTest1
{
    private string m_name;
    private int m_age;
    public string Name
    {
        get { return m_name; }
        set { m_name = value; }
    }
    public int Age
    {
        get { return m_age; }
        set { m_age = value; }
    }
    
}

public class CMain
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        
        CTest1 aTest = new CTest1();
        Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Name");
        aTest.Name = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Age");
        aTest.Age = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.Clear();
        //CTest1 aTest = new CTest1();
        Console.WriteLine("Your Name is: {0}", aTest.Name);
        Console.WriteLine("You are: {0} years old.", aTest.Age);
    }
        
}

that code works fine.

so i split it up. i want individual methods to perform the input and out put so i split it up like this:

using System;
public class CTest1
{
    private string m_name;
    private int m_age;
    public string Name
    {
        get { return m_name; }
        set { m_name = value; }
    }
    public int Age
    {
        get { return m_age; }
        set { m_age = value; }
    }
    
}

public class CMain
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        CTest1 aTest = new CTest1();
        CMain.getInput();
        CMain.showOutput();
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
        
    public static void getInput()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Name");
        aTest.Name = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Please Enter Age");
        aTest.Age = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
     }
        
     public static void showOutput()
     {
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("Your Name is: {0}", aTest.Name);
        Console.WriteLine("You are: {0} years old.", aTest.Age);
     }
        
}

now I get 4 errors, one each where i've referenced my object 'aTest', the error is: 'aTest' does not exist in current context.

how can i access my object from multiple methods. If i have to keep coming back to Main() to call the properties from my object it seems like it defeats the purpose of OOP.

I use VB .Net primarily, and once an object is initialized, as long as it's public, it is callable from all sub routines. Can someone help me make this connection please.
