Newbie Question

[S Shulman]

I added the following declaration withing a namespace but not within a class


[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="SendMessage", CharSet=CharSet.Auto )]

public static extern int SendCharFmtMsg( IntPtr hWnd, int Msg, int wParam,

ref CHARFORMAT2 cf2 );

And UI get the following compiler error
C:\Componenets\ABC\ABCColor\Class1.cs(11): Expected class, delegate, enum,
interface, or struct


Thank you,

Hi Shmuel,
do you have the type CHARFORMAT2 defined in you code or in a linked DLL,
if not this might be the source of your problem.

hi,

you have to put it inside a class, in c# you cannot have global methods,
they need to be part of a class.

cheers,

I had both problems and it is now OK

I was wondering why the compiler gave me such a funny error

Thanks,

Hi,

It gave you a correct description of the problem, clear as water

It said that at that location only a class, delegate, enum, interface, or
struct can be declared, nothing more

no it's not

It may be a problem but the compiler error clearly stated that he tried to
declare a method where only a class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct is
accepted.
