Question

I am trying to return a string from the SalesPerson object with fullNameMethod to the main program, but this isn’t working. What am I doing wrong?

class SalesPerson
{
    string firstName, lastName;
    public string FirstName { get { return firstName; } set { firstName = value; } }
    public string LastName { get { return lastName; } set { lastName = value; } }

    public SalesPerson(string fName, string lName)
    {
        firstName = fName;
        lastName = lName;
    }

    public string fullNameMethod()
    {
        string x = firstName + " " + lastName;
        return x;
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        SalesPerson x = new SalesPerson("john", "Doe");
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", x.fullNameMethod);
    }
}

Answer 1

You’re currently trying to access a method like a property

Console.WriteLine("{0}",x.fullNameMethod);

It should be

Console.WriteLine("{0}",x.fullNameMethod());

Alternatively you could turn it into a property using

public string fullName
{
   get
   {
        string x = firstName + " " + lastName;
        return x;
   }
}
