HELP ASAP....Windows Service Errors....passing information from .cs file to another .cs file in same

[Tressa]

Sorry to be such a novice about this but..... I have a windows service. It
contains two separate files. Both have the same namespace name.

I need to pass "bDisplay" into the other file. I am getting several errors
and not sure why or how to solve them does anyone have any help?

How do I access the other file?

ServerSocket.cs *This is where the main server start is so the" private bool
m_bIsDisplayed = false;" had to go here so it didn't reset every time.

Hi,

You cannot declate variables at the namespace level. Either use a public
static class member/property (I'd say it's a bad programming style), or pass
the value of the flag as an argument in a method call.
