Can you link to the challenge and post your code? I'm guessing you're using 'entry' and it's either not instantiated, not in the scope you think it is or it's part of a class that has not been imported with a "using" directive.

if you can post your code is better. but you must no one thing.

public void bar()
{
    var entry = "";
    entry = "something";
}

with this sample of code entry will only be accessible in the method bar().

you must do that:

var entry = "";
public void bar()
{
   entry = "something";
}
