Hashtable problem in VisualStudio 08 C#
-
I created a project using .NET Framework 3.0 before I downloaded 3.5... using C# on Visual Studio 08 Creating a windows program, a basic forms program I have the following:
using System; using System.Collections; namespace Zombie_Zombie_Zombie { partial class Form1 { protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (disposing && (components != null)) { components.Dispose(); } base.Dispose(disposing); } #region Windows Form Designer generated code private void InitializeComponent() { this.tabControl1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TabControl(); ... private System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox outputRichText; private System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel linkLabel14; class character { protected Hashtable charSheet = new Hashtable(); protected Hashtable calcSheet = new Hashtable(); protected Hashtable mutantStats = new Hashtable(); protected Hashtable mutantPowers = new Hashtable(); // charSheet is the base character sheet with user modifiable values // calcSheet are the values after calculations... Strength plus Melee plus Sword // non user modifiable // mutantStats are the mutant powers that directly affect the base stats, and are added // into calcSheet charSheet.Add("Name","") ... charSheet.Add("Money", ""); } } }Now I'm using this because that's the syntax given here: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.hashtable.aspx">MSDN Hashtable Class (System.Collections) I had originally tried charSheet["Name"] = ""; because I was using Beginning C# Game Programming page 105 on Hashtables. This is the error code I get:Error 1 Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Zombie Zombie Zombie\Zombie Zombie Zombie\Form1.Designer.cs 499 26 Zombie Zombie Zombie ... Error 39 Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface member declaration C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Zombie Zombie Zombie\Zombie Zombie Zombie\Form1.Designer.cs 537 26 Zombie Zombie Zombiehelp please -

InitializeComponent()). If you try to declare a class (character) from within a method or call a method (Hastable.Add) from within a class declaration, the compiler won't buy it. You can't do stuff likevoid SomeFunction()
{
class SomeClass // will throw compiler error
{
}
}or
class SomeClass
{
ht = new HashTable();
ht.Add(...); // will throw compiler error
}My kind advice is that you should learn some basic softball programming first, then move on to OOP and C# and then move on to game development. H.

lol. I learned oop over ten years ago on C++ before the ansi iso standard and just now trying to get back into it... thanks for the help tho.
No offense meant:-) I just couldn't decide if you screwed up copying the code example or if you screwed up writing the code. The latter would explain the compiler errors:-) Good luck, H.

i had forgotten that I was trying to build it using a template of sample code I was working with... so I started again...
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;namespace WindowsFormsApplication4
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
public class character
{
protected Hashtable charSheet = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable calcSheet = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable mutantStats = new Hashtable();
protected Hashtable mutantPowers = new Hashtable();
public character()
{
}
charSheet.Add("Name","")
...
charSheet.Add("Money", "");
}
}I still do not see what I'm doing. why won't it let me make a hashtable in the class character when it's apart of the namespace with System.Container ?

These two lines must be in a method, if you wish to avoid compiler errors. Assignments and the like cannot just be in class scope, they must be in a method. Only declarations can be just in the class scope.
