Array in separate CS file

Question

Hello, I am new to C#, so I have maybe stupid question:
How do I use something declared in a separate CS file. Let's say an array of strings.
CLASS1.CS:
using System;
public class Class1
    string[] Dictionary = new string[] {
        "one",
        "two",
        "three"
Now how do I use it in MainWindow class?

You need to make your field Dictionary public. Then Class1 will compile with a publicly visible field Dictionary which you can access from other code files by instantiating a new Class1 and calling .Dictionary.
using System;
public class Class1
public string[] Dictionary = new string[] {
"one",
"two",
"three"
using System;
public class Console
public static void Main(params string[] args)
var myClassInstance = new Class1();
var myClassesDictionary = myClassInstance.Dictionary;
I recommend you invest a couple of dollars in a C# how to programming book, this will save you lots of time trying to figure out everything on your own and walk you through the basics. Here are some suggestions.
