Some error(s) I can't spot

[Michael_Kamen]

Hi,

I have this code:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Monopoly
{
class MainMenu: Form
{

 static void Main()
 {

  Application.Run(new SpelUI());
 }

 public MainMenu()
 {
  this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(1024,768);
  this.ResizeRedraw = true;
  this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
  InitializeComponent();
  string[] ButtonName = new string[6] {"newgame", "load", "mplayer" ,"options" ,"credits" ,"exit"};
  PictureBox[] menuItems = new PictureBox[ButtonName.Length];

  //this.Text = "Test";

 }

 public void InitializeComponent()
 {
  //
  // MainMenu
  //
  this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
  this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(1024, 768);
  this.Name = "MainMenu";
 //this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.MainMenu_Load);

  this.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(@"E:\Monopoly V2\Pictures\skyscraper.jpg");
  for (int i = 0;i < 6; i++)
  {
   string temp;
   menuItems[i] = new PictureBox();
   menuItems[i].SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;
   menuItems[i].Left = 370;
   menuItems[i].Width = 200;
   menuItems[i].Height = 40;
   menuItems[i].Top = 400 + 60 * i;
   menuItems[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
   menuItems[i].Click += new EventHandler(MenuItemClick);
   menuItems[i].Tag = ButtonName[i];
   temp = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\Buttons\" + ButtonName[i] + ".gif";
   //MessageBox.Show(temp);
   menuItems[i].Image = Image.FromFile(temp);
   //menuItems[i].Visible = true;
   Controls.Add(menuItems[i]);
  }
 }



 }
 public void MainMenu_Load()
 {

 }
 }
}

Everytime I run this code, I get this error:

'The name menuItems doesn't exist in class or namespace Monopoly.MainMenu'

Can anyone tell me where I should declare the menuItems array and the string array to get rid of this error?

Thanks.

Oddly enough it's because there is no menuItems member of Monopoly.MainClass. You have to define it first...

Or perhaps that it was declared in the constructor but referenced in InitializeComponent?

string[] ButtonName

should be called in initializecomponents method as well

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Monopoly
{
class MainMenu: Form
{

 PictureBox[] menuItems;
 string[] ButtonName;
 static void Main()
 {

  Application.Run(new SpelUI());
 }

 public MainMenu()
 {
  this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(1024,768);
  this.ResizeRedraw = true;
  this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
  InitializeComponent();

  //this.Text = "Test";

 }

 public void InitializeComponent()
 {

  ButtonName = new string[6] {"newgame", "load", "mplayer" ,"options" ,"credits" ,"exit"};
  menuItems = new PictureBox[ButtonName.Length];
  //
  // MainMenu
  //
  this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
  this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(1024, 768);
  this.Name = "MainMenu";
 //this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.MainMenu_Load);

  this.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(@"E:\Monopoly V2\Pictures\skyscraper.jpg");
  for (int i = 0;i < 6; i++)
  {
   string temp;
   menuItems[i] = new PictureBox();
   menuItems[i].SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;
   menuItems[i].Left = 370;
   menuItems[i].Width = 200;
   menuItems[i].Height = 40;
   menuItems[i].Top = 400 + 60 * i;
   menuItems[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
   menuItems[i].Click += new EventHandler(MenuItemClick);
   menuItems[i].Tag = ButtonName[i];
   temp = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\Buttons\" + ButtonName[i] + ".gif";
   //MessageBox.Show(temp);
   menuItems[i].Image = Image.FromFile(temp);
   //menuItems[i].Visible = true;
   Controls.Add(menuItems[i]);
  }
  }
 }
 public void MainMenu_Load()
 {

 }
}
