Using cAlgo.API dll in custom dll

Sorry for the double post but on second thought I think it made sense to create a separate thread rather than adding to an existing one.

I am having the same problem as Hyperloop mentioned in this thread /forum/cbot-support/1739 and since I am also new to C#, setting the correct references and objects is still hit or miss for me. As I believe Hyperloop was trying to do, I am trying to create a dll to hold methods that I will use in different robots. I have created other dlls that are working fine but I am struggling with using cAlgo,API in my custom dll.

I am working in VS 2010. I have added cAlgo.API in References (for this project) so I get IntelliSense and I can view it fine through the Object Browser. I also have no problem using VS2010 to write cBots in general. That part is working great. It is creating a custom dll that uses cAlgo.API dll that has me stumped.

The code I have so far for my custom dll is this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using cAlgo.API;
 
namespace cAlgoGeneralMethods
{
    public class General
    {
        private int GetPosCnt()
        {
            int iPosCnt;
            iPosCnt = Positions.Count;
            return iPosCnt;
        }
    }
}

As anyone who knows C# and cAlgo well (I don't) the line 

iPosCnt = Positions.Count;

will not work and I would get the same error as Hyperloop got, "An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property".

I have looked at the responses that Hyperloop got but I have not found a specific example of how to get it to work. I would very much appreciate a quick sample of what I need to add to get cAlgo.API objects/methods recognized in my custom dll.
