Declare it within your Form class, and then on it's constructor, you initialize the string.

Solution 2

Declare it as member of the form class (instead of local of the formLoad method).
If you are using it in the form class itself then you don't need to declare it as public.

C#

public partial class MyForm : Form
{
  string datacompany;
   //...

C#

private void MyForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  datacompany = rm.GetString("datacompany");
  //..

Solution 1

You need to use properties[^].

C#

private string datacompany;
public string DataCompany{
  set{
    datacompany = value;
  }
  get{
    return datacompany;
  }
}

then call

C#

DataCompany = rm.GetString("datacompany");

hope this helps.
