Changing value in variable from another called class

Hey all I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what it is I am missing from the code below in order for the value "7:50 pm" to be placed into the variable theCntDownTimerTime from the TinyWS.cs class.

Let say the code below starts out with the time "7:00 pm".

I send the command from PostMAN (7:50 pm) and it picks it up just fine and the jsonSent.changeCNT does have the correct value of "7:50 pm". However, after this it seems to lose that value once the timer updates in the clockCoiuntDown.xaml.cs page for the theCntDownTimerTime.ToLower(). That value is still the same value (7:00 pm) as it was when the program started up and read my text file to get the default time.

clockCountDown.xaml.cs

namespace laptopWatcher  {      public partial class clockCountDown : Window      {          public string theCntDownTimerTime   = "";            public clockCountDown()          {              InitializeComponent();              //get countdown time              theCntDownTimerTime = getTimeToStart();          }            private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)          {              var desktopWorkingArea = SystemParameters.WorkArea;              this.Left = desktopWorkingArea.Right - this.Width - 20;              this.Top = desktopWorkingArea.Top + this.Height - 30;              var ts = ((60 - DateTime.Now.Second) * 1000 - DateTime.Now.Millisecond);                clockTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(clockTimer_tick);              clockTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 35);              clockTimer.Start();                //Populate the time once to show to user              bgTxt.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm tt");              txt.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm tt");                //check if time for count down              if (txt.Text.ToLower().Equals(theCntDownTimerTime.ToLower()))              {                  _timer.Stop();                  TimeSpan time = TimeSpan.Parse(theCntDownTimerTime);                  cdownTimer((_time).TotalSeconds);              }                _tws = new TinyWS();              Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(_tws.startWS));                t.Start();          }            private void clockTimer_tick(object sender, EventArgs e)          {              bgTxt.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm tt");              txt.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm tt");              Console.WriteLine(txt.Text.ToLower() + " vs " + theCntDownTimerTime.ToLower());          }            public string getTimeToStart()          {              string line;                using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\timestart.txt"))              {                  line = sr.ReadLine();              }                return line.ToLower();          }        // etc etc....     }  }  

TinyWS.cs

namespace laptopLogin  {      class TinyWS : clockCountDown      {          HttpListener listener = new HttpListener();          clockCountDown ccd = new clockCountDown();            public class receivedData          {              public string changeCNT { get; set; }              public int timeAdd { get; set; }              public bool internet { get; set; }              public bool shutdownNow { get; set; }          }            public void startWS()          {              var prefixes = new List<string>() { "http://*:8888/" };                foreach (string s in prefixes)              {                  listener.Prefixes.Add(s);              }                listener.Start();              Console.WriteLine("Listening...");                while (true)              {                  HttpListenerContext context = listener.GetContext();                  HttpListenerRequest request = context.Request;                    string documentContents;                    using (Stream receiveStream = request.InputStream)                  {                      using (StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8))                      {                          documentContents = readStream.ReadToEnd();                      }                  }                    Console.WriteLine($"Recived request for {request.Url}");                  Console.WriteLine(documentContents);                  HttpListenerResponse response = context.Response;                    //Check out the response                  receivedData jsonSent = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<receivedData>(documentContents);                    if (jsonSent.changeCNT.ToLower() != ccd.getTimeToStart())                  {                      //The default shutdown time has changed so update the txt file.                      using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\timestart.txt", false))                      {                          sw.WriteLine(jsonSent.changeCNT);                      }                        ccd.theCntDownTimerTime = jsonSent.changeCNT;                  }                    //Reply                  string responseString = "hit";                  byte[] buffer = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(responseString);                  response.ContentLength64 = buffer.Length;                  Stream output = response.OutputStream;                  output.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);                  output.Close();              }          }            public void stopWS() {               listener.Stop();          }      }  }  

So what would I be missing? It looks fine to me but just doesn't store the value over.

I also have tried:

    public string theCntDownTimerTime   = "";      public string _newCNT      {          get { return theCntDownTimerTime; }          set { theCntDownTimerTime = value; }      }  

And on the TinyWS.cs page I have it sending by like ccd._newCNT = jsonSent.changeCNT;

But that also does not hold the new value.
