C# Return Type

jacob Kukuk

Having issues with a error message of Method must have a return type. The script below is the script where it fails at. I looked for return types and tryed return null but that dosent work :-/ So since my head hurts now any suggestions? TY in advance. The red is where it errors out at.

 public class Global_Proccess
        {
            public static proccess()
            {
                tabControl1.SelectTab(1);

                HtmlDocument mycspdoc = mycsp_browse.Document;

                HtmlElement Username_Enter = mycspdoc.GetElementById("userid");
                Username_Enter.Focus();
                Username_Enter.SetAttribute("value", usernm_g);

                HtmlElement Password_Enter = mycspdoc.GetElementById("password");
                Password_Enter.Focus();
                Password_Enter.SetAttribute("value", passwd_g);
                return null;
            }
           
            public static void Main(string usernm, string passwd)
            {
                usernm_g = usernm;
                passwd_g = passwd;

                proccess();
            }
        }

Wondering if anyone else has any feedback on this?

these 2 items are both in the same .cs I was just showing that it works if its not in a class. So is the method for using it within the Simple Login Forum?

To use  HtmlDocument in your simplelogin you should give the referense to it...

 private void Simple_login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  HtmlDocument mycspdoc = mycsp_browse.Document;

  FormSimplLogin simplelogin = new Simple_Login(mycspdoc);
  simplelogin.Show();
}


and in class 

 public class FormSimplLogin : Form
{

HtmlDocument m_MyPassdoc;
public FormSimplLogin (HtmlDocument anyhtmldoc)
{
   MyPassdoc = anyhtmldoc;
}

So you can use this classin any function inside  FormSimplLogin....

Doing it this way works,

 private void Simple_login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            HtmlDocument mycspdoc = mycsp_browse.Document;

            Form simplelogin = new Simple_Login();
            simplelogin.Show();
        }

the method posted with that class dosent, so is there like a way i'm supposed to like referance the item inside of the class to make it find the web browser?

Danatas Gervi17y ago
Carefully check (compare) all parameters of browsers "outside class" and "inside"
There is no magic. If an object is not works as you need - it is garantee, that this object was not correctly inited.

Its a web browser, if I use it outside of the class it works but inside this class it dosent :-/

>> HtmlDocument mycspdoc = mycsp_browse.Document;

What type has this property (of field) .Document ?

Are you sure, that it can be an instance of HtmlDocument?
jacob Kukuk17y ago
Awsome that fixed that one. Then I get a issue where

tabControl1.SelectTab(1);
HtmlDocument mycspdoc = mycsp_browse.Document;

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property. Its like there unable to see other items outside of the class.

Use "void" keyword

 public static void proccess()

Only constructor of class should not return any result.
