Compiler Error
kamran.cs(1,15): error CS1518: Expected class, delegate, enum,
interface, or struct
You cannot create a function outside a class or a structure. This rule has to
be strictly adhered to even for Main.
kamran.cspublic class zzz
{
public
static int Main()
{
return;
}
}
Compiler Errorkamran.cs(5,1): error CS0126: An object of a type convertible
to 'int' is required
In this example, the function Main has to return an int and we are not returning
any value with the keyword return. The compiler tries to convert a nothing into
an int and hence the error. This is a generic error that occurs whenever the
compiler tries to convert a data type into another and is not successful.
kamran.csclass zzz
{
public
static int Main()
{
}
}
Compiler Errorkamran.cs(3,19): error CS0161: 'zzz.Main()': not all code paths
return a value
The compiler's error messages need the services of an editor. The function Main should return an int, but we forgot to do so. This results in an error. Thus whenever an entity should return a value, we should return such a data type or be prepared for an error.
Happy .NETing
