I can't access variable from base class c#

Question

public class MyClass
{
    public int x;
}
public class MyClass2: MyClass
{
    x=1;    
}

I'm trying to access variable x from base class but I get an error saying that the name x does not exists in current context.

Answer 1

You can access it from inside a method like this:

public class MyClass2: MyClass
{
    private void MyMethod()
    {
         x=1;
    }  
}

Or from a different class:

var test = new MyClass2();
test.x = 1;

If you intend for your x field to be public, you should consider changing it to a property and capitalizing it, like this:

public int X { get; set; }

You can read about the difference between fields and properties here. If you do make it a property, be sure to follow Microsoft design guidelines and use PascalCase. See here.

Answer 2

Try to make your variables public and if this doesn't work try to initialize your variable inside the MyClass and not in the MyClass2
