How do I make 2 players from one Class?

Question

I am teaching myself XNA and only started a few days ago. I am making a clone of Pong and have made a class for the Paddle:

I am wondering how I can create 2 paddles one for each player from the one class.

Thanks,

You need to create two different instances of the class.
I suggest you not to check for input inside your class but in your game loop, so you can handle events for both instances. Pseudocode below:

Pong::Paddle player1(texture1, bounds1);
Pong::Paddle player2(texture2, bounds2);

while(running){
  if(keyDown == W)
    player1.setYDirection(-1);
  else if(keyDown == UP)
    player2.setDirection(-1);
  else if(keyDown == S)
    player1.setYDirection(1);
  else if(keyDown == DOWN)
    player2.setDirection(1);

  player1.update();
  player2.update();
}
