Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference occurs when calling public sub

Question

I have a Public Class \"General\" in which is a Public Sub \"updateDynamics\". When I attempt to reference it in the code-behind for a page like so:

updateDy         


        

Answer 1

You either have to make the method Shared or use an instance of the class General:

Dim gen = New General()
gen.updateDynamics(get_prospect.dynamicsID)

or

General.updateDynamics(get_prospect.dynamicsID)

Public Shared Sub updateDynamics(dynID As Int32)
    ' ... '
End Sub
