Unknown Error Message
-
I have a property(See below) that should be working. This is in an example straight from my textbook. I have double and triple checked the coding after I typed it into the editor. I'm trying out the book example to see what the code looks like in the "real world". The editor is telling me "Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct". :confused: I am getting that message from the error list with the "string" underlined. As I am new at this, I (at this time) do not understand exactly what I'm being told or how to fix it. Any help in that direction will be apreciated. :)

//Propertiy for the major data field public string Major { get { return major; } set { major = value; } }I'm sorry if my question is stupid, but are you sure your property definition is inside a class? Giving the class definition, with the irrelevant parts left out, might help.
Cheers, Vikram.

byalmightybob:) Thanks for your answers folks. I have found the solution (pardon the pun) to the problem. It seems that I had accidently typed in some code from the wrong page. X| Below I've listed my coding that works correctly. Thanks again. :-D
