richTextBox access from a function

[Guest]

I have a button on a form that calls a function. The function does some stuff
and then I want it to write the results to a richTextBox. The problem is the
code;

richTextBox1.Text += "Results";

Gives me the error, 'Form1.righTextBox1' denotes a field where a class was
expected.

How do I reference the richTextBox from the function?

hi Dave
the line MyForm.MyRichTextBox.Text += " more text " ; is no problem with
and should work fine. So , there must be something else causing the
problem and that you need to be looking for. If you still have the problem
would you please post larger snippet of your code may be that would help
figure the problem.

I found the problem, I had declared my function as static.

public static void SendRequest( )

it should have been,

public void SendRequest()

That fixed it.
