This pseudo code does 'not' work in a visual studio environment.

In this scenario, line 22 and 25 are undefined because they cannot access the definition in main() even though it is defined.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


namespace N{
public ref classForm1 : publicSystem::Forms::Form
{

public:
Form1(string laArray[], int length)
{
InitializeComponent();
//constructor code
}

private:
System::VoidB() {
LoadMyFile (laArray, 2);
}

public:
void PrintArray(string laArray[], int length)
{
string fileName1;
fileName1 = laArray[0];
}
}
};

int main(array<System::String^>^args)
{
std::string laArray[2];
laArray[0] ="hello";
laArray[1] ="bye";
PrintArray(laArray,2);
return0;
Application::Run(gcnew Form1(laArray, 2));

}


Actual error and code:
http://pastie.org/4783179

form1
http://pastie.org/4783166

main()
http://pastie.org/4783187

All I am trying to do is display array data produced in main() inside of a textbox window in my form1.
I cannot seem to connect laArray[] in main() with laArray[] in form1

What is 'really' confusing me is that according to http://jcatki.no-ip.org:8080/fncpp/Namespace accessing info in a namespace from main() requires 'namespace::function variable'.
But I am going the other way, everything should have access to main() as long as you pass it, which I am?????

You better post this in MSDN forums, as here it is unlikely to get an answer for C++/CLI Microsoft propietary language that you are using.

I tried gross overkill.
