.NET property generating “must declare a body because it is not marked abstract or extern” compilation error

Question

I have a .NET 3.5 (target framework) web application. I have some code that looks like this:

public string LogPath { get; private set; }
public string ErrorMsg          


        

Answer 1

This also happens on a raw web site project where there was no web.config generated.

Although the solution file said 3.5, .Net needed the web.config to state it also to recognize. I ran debug allowing it to create a webconfig, and all was working.

So it is like the answer provided, but just make sure you have one.
