We have a program, it is a game, but we just started with the start menu and the character select, my friend said. we are a 4 people group for this school project in programming, he said that he wants to connect the character pictureboxes to the button so that when the player chose his/her character it will be the one that gets chosen as a character for the game. but we tried to fix and find the solution for the problem but we can't find any solution that can help us. everything in the code works fine but whenever we call the method it gives us the problem "Member 'Program.selectform()' cannot be accessed with an instance reference, , qualify it with a type name instead" we we're not sure what this means but not we're not able to figure it out in other posts. Any help would be very much appreciated as we really want this project to be a success, thank you.
