Turning a local variable into a private variable breaks my C# code
<p>In my console application I have a local variable that's working fine</p>

<p>the moment I make it a private variable to the class, I can't compile, because it says - an object reference is required for the non static member or property </p>

<p>Any ideas what could be the reason, this is the first time I've seen this.</p>
