I am unable to pass a string value into my SPWeb.GetFolder despite my input being a string value.

private static void UploadEmlToSp(string sharePointSite, string sharePointDocLib, string emlFullPath, string requestNo)
{
    using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(sharePointSite))
    {
        using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())
        {
            if (!System.IO.File.Exists(emlFullPath))
                throw new FileNotFoundException("File not found.", emlFullPath);

            SPFolder myLibrary = oWeb.Folders[sharePointDocLib];

            if (SPWeb.GetFolder(requestNo).Exists) <--errored
            {
                //Folder Exisits
            }

May I know what have I missed? Below is the error message.

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property SPWeb.GetFolder(string)

  • my `requestNo` is a parameter that is parsed in from my `main`. do I need to specially handle it? – gymcode Aug 26 '19 at 04:51

  • sorry, this one might be a duplicate. [`SPWeb.GetFolder`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb?view=sharepoint-server) is not indicated as a static and you call it on a static method. – Bagus Tesa Aug 26 '19 at 04:52

You are calling an instance method like a static method. Just use the instance of SPWeb you have in oWeb

if (oWeb.GetFolder(requestNo).Exists)

Use the instance of the object oWeb that you created to get the method. The code should be written as follows 

 if (oWeb.GetFolder(requestNo).Exists){
         //Folder Exisits
 }

SPWeb.GetFolder is not a staic method as official document specific:

SPWeb.GetFolder Method

So use the instace oWeb instead:

oWeb.GetFolder(requestNo).Exists
