Beginner help with C#.

So I used a type-safe language before this one, AutoIt and was I speaking to a friend about software development and well he guided me too C#. I've read several tutorials but I guess I haven't taken it in.

Can anyone see what is wrong with this code? I dont seem to understand the errors that are:

Error 1 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'PenDriveBackup.Program.iDrive'

'Error 2 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'PenDriveBackup.Program.GetDriveList()'

Error 3 'PenDriveBackup.Program.GetDriveList()': not all code paths return a value.

The code is:

Code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace PenDriveBackup
{
    class Program
    {
        public string[] iDrive;

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            iDrive = GetDriveList();
            //System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
        }

        public string GetDriveList()
        {
            DriveInfo[] aDrives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();
            foreach (DriveInfo d in aDrives)
            {
                if (d.DriveType == DriveType.Removable) 
                {
                    //dType = Convert.ToString(d.Name);
                    return Convert.ToString(d.Name);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks in advance, AwAk3e.

 

Hi AwAk3e,

You are trying to call non-static or member function GetDriveList() in a static method. Thats why the error.
