PostPosted: Visual C# Express Edition, Code sample in MS ebook gives lots of errors Top

I've just installed VC# Express, and created a Console Application, using the code sample from page 49-50 in the "Build a program now!" ebook from MS.

Everything looks like it should in the code window (I copy/pasted the code), nevertheless I get 21 errors when I press F5.

Most of them look like this one:

"Error 16 Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration"

Here's the code, copied from the code window:

1 using System;

2 using System.Collections.Generic;

3 using System.Text;

4

5 namespace MyFirstConsoleApplication

6 {

7 class Program

8 {

9 static void Main(string[] args)

10 {

11 // Declaring two integer numbers variables that will hold the 2 parts

12 // of the sum and one integer variable to hold the sum

13 int number1;

14 int number2;

15 int sum;

16

17 // Assigning two values to the integer variables

18 number1 = 10;

19 number2 = 5;

20

21 // Adding the two integers and storing the result in the sum variable

22 sum = (number1 + number2);

23

24 // Displaying a string with the 2 numbers and the result.

25 Console.WriteLine("The sum of " + number1.ToString() + " and " + number2.

ToString() + " is " + sum.ToString());

26 }

27 }

28

Any idea what's wrong here

to me looks like you are missing one closing brace } - try placing it on the last line

Thanks - actually you're right, but it does not help to add the brace, unfortunately

I got 21 compiler errors too. Don't type in the line numbers. Thanks, you made my day.

LOL no bugz

I thought the user switched on the line numbering system in the IDE then copied and pasted it....well, from the original post anyway

Ahh... thanks! I'm used to Liberty Basic Workshop, where you actually use line numbers, so I didn't see anything unusual... :)

No actually the code in the book had line numbers, and I just copy/pasted it into the editor.
