[RESOLVED] [1.0/1.1] Create Object to Use Method

[steve65]

Hi All,

I have a method to tell me if a user has entered an invalid key during a textbox's key press event.

private bool InvalidCharacters(System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
	bool returnValue = false;
	if(e.KeyChar == '\''){returnValue = true;}
	else if(e.KeyChar == '`'){returnValue = true;}
	else if(e.KeyChar == ','){returnValue = true;}
	return returnValue;
}

I would like to use this method in different classes that are all part of the same name space and class library. [Here comes the DUH part] The only way I have been able to call the method, is to create an object of the class that the method is in and then call the method. Is there a way to call the method directly if it is in the same namespace as the code without having to create the object like shown below?

private void txtUserOSName_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
	if(InvalidCharacters(e)){e.Handled = true;}
}

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks Steve
