Help needed to properly implement interface in C#

Hi all - I have a problem with implementing interfaces in a C# project.

I have a Windows form with the following interface in it:

public interface Trigger
       {
           void UpdateClient();
           void UpdateHotel();
       }


class UpdateParties: Trigger
       {

           static void Main()
           {
               UpdateParties iImp = new UpdateParties();
               iImp.UpdateClient();
               iImp.UpdateHotel();
           }

           public void UpdateClient ()
           {
               this.toolStripStatusLabelGuestID.Text = "Client ID: " + globals.CurrentGuestID;

               // Populate name details box
               this.tbGuest.Text = globals.PreFill;
           }

           public void UpdateHotel ()
           {
               this.toolStripStatusLabelHotelID.Text = "Hotel ID: " + globals.CurrentHotelID;

               // Populate name details box
               this.tbHotel.Text = globals.PreFill;

               GetHotelData();
           }

where GetHotelData() is used elsewhere by a button click event on the form itself.

Now I'm facing two problems when I try and compile this. The first is an error message along the lines of 'Myproject.frmDisplay.UpdateParties' does not contain a definition for 'toolStripStatusLabelGuestID' and no extension method 'toolStripStatusLabelGuestID' accepting a first argument of type 'Myproject.frmDisplay.UpdateParties' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

- this pops up every time I reference a control on the form itelf (toolStripStatusLabelHotelID is a label on the toolstrip bar, same thing happens for a textbox called tbGuest) and so I get four error messages of this kind.

The second error is The name 'GetHotelData' does not exist in the current context when it comes to invoking GetHotelData(). I don't want to duplicate GetHotelData() as it plays with data tables etc. on the main form and I can't shuffle those around.

How do I resolve these issues? I have other code in the form itself that invokes GetHotelData() and manipulates the controls just fine, and I don't want to start breaking things. All I need to do is invoke these methods from another form so that this form updates its display.
