(object) is a 'field' but is used like a 'type'

Question

My intellisense is giving me the error: \'ClassLibrary1.GetTimeZone.myWorldTime\' is a \'field\' but is used like a \'type\'

Any idea what I\'m doing wrong?

Answer 1

LoadData is a static method. You call it on the type, not an instance.

ChaosSoftware.WorldTime.LoadData("worldtime.xml");

This needs to be placed inside a method in order to execute (constructor or other method).

Additionally, though not the reason for the error, you should use " to delimit a string. In C#, single quotes are for character literals (that is, single characters). What you have will not compile.

Answer 2

You need to put the line in error in a class constructor or a method.

Answer 3

LoadData seems to be a static function, so you should do this instead (without an object instance):

ChaosSoftware.WorldTime.LoadData("blahblah...");
