it sasy this:
Compiler Error Message: CS0201: Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement

Scott Lysle · Answer

Ah, now that is a real bad sign.
Once last thing to try; in the code where it says this:
bpo = new bpoInfo(...
comment out that line and on the next line, key in "bpo = new bpoInfo(" and then stop, you should see the list of arguments for the object's constructor.  What are they?

cdog · Answer

came back with the same error

Scott Lysle · Answer

Just for the heck of it; trying plugging an int directly into that call to see if it even works:
Line 66: bpo = new bpoInfo(Request.QueryString["RequestID"]);
try something like bpo = new bpoInfo(5);
It would be interesting to see what it comes back with.

great thanks that is the main problem debugging it it is for a new job so I am desperatly trying to decipher it. the guy who gave me the assignment thinks he is a programmer but he is not. Thanks anyway for your help

Scott Lysle · Answer

That is not fun; you probably need to level with the powers that be on that project and tell them that you need all of the code in order to complete the project.  Everyone runs into this at one time or another; it is going to be too difficult to translate and debug the project if you don't have the complete picture.

cdog · Answer

it did not work, basically this is a ridiculous project all they have given me is ftp access so I have the aspx file, the vb file that it is linked to and that is it I do not have the whole solution or anything

Scott Lysle · Answer

Ah, maybe it is in a DLL.  Try this, where the class is named, right click on it and select the option to go to the definition; if you have the code somewhere, it will go to that, if it is in a DLL, it will open it into the object browser.
Dim bpo As bpoInfo

cdog · Answer

sorry I do not have a class, I basically have an asp.net huge form linked to a vb page tha tI need to convert to c# it is 7000 lines long otherwise I would post it. I am breaking it up peice by piece but this is where I am stuck. looking through the vb file there is no bpoinfo method jus tthis in vb being delcared:
Dim bpo As bpoInfo
I know it is a big task can you help?

CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'bpoInfo.bpoInfo(int)
bpoInfo accepts an Integer value as its only argument; you are passing it a string.
Line 64: try
Line 65: {
Line 66: bpo = new bpoInfo(Request.QueryString["RequestID"]);
See if this does not help out:
string sBpo = Request.QueryString["RequestID"];
if(sBpo != string.Empty)
{
int iBpo = Convert.ToInt32(sBpo);
bpo = new bpoInfo(iBpo);
}
