Field initializer cannot reference non static field, method, property

Question

I am using MailChimp Library by brandonseydel, i am not able to create the 'MailChimpManager' object,getting the error a field initializer cannot reference non static field,method,property

 public string MailChimpAPIKey {
        get
        {
            using (BEntities entity=new BEntities())
            {
                var key = entity.tbl_Client_MailChimp_Settings.Where(p => p.CIN == CINNo).FirstOrDefault();
                if (key != null)
                    return key.APIKey;
                else
                    return "";
            }
        }
    }

    private static MailChimpManager Manager = new MailChimpManager(MailChimpAPIKey);

Error speaks for itself. You are trying to access non static object in your static method. Remove static or make MailChimpAPIKey static. — Incredible, Jan 30 '18 at 06:05

You are trying to use non-static filed with static class. Make your MailChimpAPIKey static and it will work. Also try to implement setter for MailChimpAPIKey.

i tried that but i am fetching the record based on CIN in MailChimpAPIKey property ,CINNo is again a property which is non static – user9287106 Jan 30 '18 at 05:44
remove static from MailChimpManager. You kept is as private so will not be accessible anywhere. – Gaurang Dave Jan 30 '18 at 05:46

That is different error or question you are asking. You can start separate question for that. If this helped you, upvote and mark as answer. – Gaurang Dave Jan 30 '18 at 06:51

MailChimpAPIKey must be also static, or implement of IMailChimpManager must be non static

private IMailChimpManager Manager = new MailChimpManager(MailChimpAPIKey);
