Most likely you forgot to add ToSting() on your metod... Cant really tell without the code though.

Ok.. assisting you. But I can't see anything wrong in the code. I think you should re-install Visual Studio.If it does not work , then format the primary drive and install Visual Studio again..

Solution 1

Add the brackets.

Basically you have said somthing like:

C#

string s= "hello " + myvalue.MyMethod;

where you meant to say:

C#

string s= "hello " + myvalue.MyMethod();

"MyMethod" could be "ToString", "GetSelectedText" or any other method name.

Operator '+' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and 'method group'
This happens when you try to use a method instead of string. Classical mistake done by many is just doing ToString instead of ToString() leading to a method reference instead of a string. Use () to call a method, as in ToString() and convert the object correctly.
