I've currently been using "classname." to access methods in other classes however I read about the using static directive and thought id try it out, howeverim having a bit of an issue.

I've added the name space "using static System."class name" but its not letting me use the methods from that class specified, its just throwing an error. Can anyone help? Thankyou

C#:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using static System.User; // this here is throwing an error and wont allow me to use a static Dictionary

Is the PatientDictionary property declared static? I doubt it, so that would explain why you can't access it courtesy of using static. Of course, if you'd provided the actual error message then we wouldn't have to guess. Error messages are ALWAYS relevant.
 
By the way, I notice that you imported System.Patient. Is that the correct namespace for that class? If it's not then that might also explain your issue. If it is, don't be declaring your own namespace named System, because then you confuse system code with your own code and increase the likelihood of name clashes.

Sweet, I fixed it. I wasn't typing the name of my project :rolleyes::D
