[RESOLVED] New to C#: Calling Functions

I have a piece of code that I need to call a function to save settings. This is what I'm using currently.:

Code:

---

       
private void exeSaveBut_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        MainForm exeSave = new MainForm();
        exeSave.exeSaveAction();
}

...

void exeSaveAction()
{
        MessageBox.Show("VPSM Directory Settings Have Been Saved!", "Settings Saved");
        exe42PathBox.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings1.Default.ExePath42);
        exe50PathBox.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings1.Default.ExePath50);
        exe52PathBox.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings1.Default.ExePath52);
        exe60PathBox.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings1.Default.ExePath60);
        exe62PathBox.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings1.Default.ExePath62);
        exe70PathBox.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings1.Default.ExePath70);
        exe71PathBox.Text = Convert.ToString(Settings1.Default.ExePath71);
        Settings1.Default.Save();
}

Now when I click on the button it doesn't seem to call the function...what am I doing wrong, I know it's a stupid, easy answer but I can't seem to find information that actually works for me. Thanks.

Does that code even compile? The default access modifier of a class member is private, so you shouldnt be able to access the exeSaveAction method from that class, you need to add the 'public' modifier infront of 'void'

Yeah it compiles without errors or warnings. Even with public in front the button still does not ultimately display the message box, or seem to do anything and I can't figure out why.

What if you put a breakpoint in the buttons click event handler, and step through the code? What actually happens? Does it even enter the event handler?

It wasn't stepping into it, had to re-"double-click" the buttons. My guess is a reference in the designer file was a little confused when I went from a form based program to a tab based one. Thanks for the help. Should have tried that myself first though ;-)

Bzzt. Public.

You may be thinking of Java.
