Question

I have a factory method in a normally instantiable class. Intellisense shows that it is valid (i.e. it shows up when I type “Entity.”) and shows the proper tooltip before building. When I build, however, I get this error:

‘EvergreenEngine.Entity’ does not contain a definition for ‘Load’

What is going on here?
This is my class. Ignore that the method doesn’t actually do anything for now.

// Represents an object in the game world
public class Entity
{
    // Snip other methods and stuff

    // Loads an entity from an XML file
    public static Entity Load(string filename) // Apparently undefined
    {
        Entity newEntity = new Entity();

        XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(filename);
        while(reader.Read())
        {
            Logger.Log(reader.Name);
        }

        return newEntity;
    }
}

SOLVED IT

Apparently, I had it compiling to x86 (I’m on a 64bit machine) and VS didn’t like that. Very odd.

It worked when I set it back to Mixed Platforms.
