C# Set from another class and Get from another class

Question

This's Class A

Class A
{    
public string uname { get; set; }
public string fname { get; set; }
}

I set values by Class B

Class B
{
private void Main(){

A aGetSet = new A();   

aGetSet.uname = "James";    
aGetSet.fname = "Blunt"; 
}

}

But when I get values in Class C, it's always return null

Class C
{
   private void Main()   {

   A aGetSet = new A(); 

   string username = aGetSet.uname;
   string fistname = aGetSet.fname;
}
}

Does anyone has solution for this problem?

Answer 1

The aGetSet declared in B is an object of A. The aGetSet declared in C is another object of A. They are completely independent of each other. Changing the values of one of the objects does not affect the values of the other.

To fix this problem, you need to make it so that you are accessing the same instance in B and C.

There are lots of ways to do this. I will show you how to use the singleton pattern.

class A
{    

    public string uname { get; set; }
    public string fname { get; set; }
    private A() {} // mark this private so that no other instances of A can be created
    public static readonly A Instance = new A();

}

class B
{

    public void Main(){
        // here we are setting A.Instance, which is the only instance there is
        A.Instance.uname = "James";    
        A.Instance.fname = "Blunt"; 

    }

}

class C
{

    public void Main()   {
        B b = new B();
        b.Main();
        string username = A.Instance.uname;
        string fistname = A.Instance.fname;
    }

}

Now you just need to call C.Main to make this work!
