How to make method call another one in classes?

by

Because the Method2 is static, all you have to do is call like this:

public class AllMethods
{
    public static void Method2()
    {
        // code here
    }
}

class Caller
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        AllMethods.Method2();
    }
}

If they are in different namespaces you will also need to add the namespace of AllMethods to caller.cs in a using statement.

If you wanted to call an instance method (non-static), you’d need an instance of the class to call the method on. For example:

public class MyClass
{
    public void InstanceMethod() 
    { 
        // ...
    }
}

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var instance = new MyClass();
    instance.InstanceMethod();
}

Update

As of C# 6, you can now also achieve this with using static directive to call static methods somewhat more gracefully, for example:

// AllMethods.cs
namespace Some.Namespace
{
    public class AllMethods
    {
        public static void Method2()
        {
            // code here
        }
    }
}

// Caller.cs
using static Some.Namespace.AllMethods;

namespace Other.Namespace
{
    class Caller
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Method2(); // No need to mention AllMethods here
        }
    }
}
