title: Instantiating an object of one class in another
body: <p>Could some one let me know how to instantiate and object from within another class in C#.</p>
  
  <p>The first 3 string variables here (secureID, EmailAddress and PhoneNum) I would like to place them in another class and assign values to them in this class. In c++ we would use friend class, couldn't find anything like that for C#.</p>
  
  <p>Further clarification: </p>
  
  <p>I would like to take this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>static string SecureId;
    static string EmailAddress;
    static string PhoneNum;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and place it in it's own class. Lets call it public class myMsg. I would like to instanitate myMsg in the below class Program and be able to assign values to its fields as such myMsg.SecureId = strDataParse[0]. I am having issues accessing myMsg fields through class Program. Hope that helps.</p>
