Global Variables in new Visual Studio

Hello, I'm learning C# and I'm using the "new" Visual Studio setup (the one without Main and Program declaration). However how can I declare a global variable with this setup? I saw some videos and they put the global variables in class Program, however without those declaration, as far as I know, I'm writing inside Main method.

Just an opinion "global variables" are frequently a pragmatic compromise and not something you should pursue as common practice. Tread carefully

Global variables are usually a feature of the classic programming languages (C/C++), and modern OOP languages (Java/C#) do not like. They were common locations for bugs as you have no easy way to track their modifications. Instead, people have been suggested to use safer/OOP ways, and common patterns like Singletons.
