Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'int'?

Question

Oke so I am fairly new to programming and I don\'t get why I get this error.

My method should store mails which it does in this method:

    public vo         


        

Answer 1

The method

public void StoreMail(PhishingMail PhishingMail)

is not returning any value. So when you do:

phishingMailId = _storageAgent.StoreMail(phishingMail);

You are getting that error, since StoreMail is declared as void, which means it does not return anything.

To fix this, simply call StoreMail like this:

_storageAgent.StoreMail(phishingMail);

If you intend to return a value from StoreMail, then you must change it to return an int value:

public int StoreMail(PhishingMail PhishingMail)
{
    using (var phishingMailStorage = new PhishFinderModel())
    {
        phishingMailStorage.PhishingMail.Attach(PhishingMail);

        phishingMailStorage.SaveChanges();
    }

    return someIdWhichYouNeedToFigureOut;
}
