5. Replace the existing code with the following code:

   package MyTestJSharpClassLibrary;
   
   public interface IMyJSharpInterface
   {
   	static int MyStaticMember=0; // Static member variable
   	int NonStaticMember();  // Non-static member
   }

6. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
7. Click Visual C# Projects or Visual Basic Projects under Project Types, and then click Console Application under Templates.
8. In the Name box, type MyTestConsoleApplication, and then click OK.
9. Replace the existing code with the following code:
   Visual C# .NET Code

   using System;
   using MyTestJSharpClassLibrary;
   
   namespace MyCSharpApplication
   {
   	class MyCSharpClass : IMyJSharpInterface
   	{
         // Implement non-static member of the interface
         public int NonStaticMember()
         {
            return 10;
         }
   
   		[STAThread]
   		static void Main(string[] args)
   		{
            IMyJSharpInterface myObj = new MyCSharpClass();
            // Access non-static member
            Console.WriteLine(myObj.NonStaticMember());
            // Access static member
            Console.WriteLine(myObj.MyStaticMember);
            
   		}
   
   	}
   }
   

   Visual Basic .NET Code

   Imports MyTestJSharpClassLibrary
   
   Module Module1
   
      Sub Main()
         Dim myObj As IMyJSharpInterface
         myObj = New MyTestClass()
         ' Access non-static member
         Console.WriteLine(myObj.NonStaticMember())
         ' Access static member
         Console.WriteLine(myObj.MyStaticMember)
      End Sub
   
   End Module
   Public Class MyTestClass
      Implements IMyJSharpInterface
      ' Implement non-static member
      Public Function NonStaticMember() As Int32
         Return 10
      End Function
   End Class
