C# cannot convert method to non delegate type

.net, c#, delegates, methods

Solution

You need to add parentheses after a method call, else the compiler will think you're talking about the method itself (a delegate type), whereas you're actually talking about the return value of that method.

string t = obj.getTitle();

Extra Non-Essential Information

Also, have a look at properties. That way you could use title as if it were a variable, while, internally, it works like a function. That way you don't have to write the functions `getTitle()` and `setTitle(string value)`, but you could do it like this:

public string Title // Note: public fields, methods and properties use PascalCasing
{
    get // This replaces your getTitle method
    {
        return _title; // Where _title is a field somewhere
    }
    set // And this replaces your setTitle method
    {
        _title = value; // value behaves like a method parameter
    }
}

Or you could use auto-implemented properties, which would use this by default:

public string Title { get; set; }

And you wouldn't have to create your own backing field (`_title`), the compiler would create it itself.

Also, you can change access levels for property accessors (getters and setters):

public string Title { get; private set; }

You use properties as if they were fields, i.e.:

this.Title = "Example";
string local = this.Title;

Problem

I have a class called `Pin`. ``` public class Pin { private string title; public Pin() { } public setTitle(string title) { this.title = title; } public String getTitle() { return title; } } ``` From another class I add Pins objects in a `List<Pin>` pins and from another I want to iterate the List pins and get the elements. So I have this code. ``` foreach (Pin obj in ClassListPin.pins) { string t = obj.getTitle; } ``` With this code I cannot retrieve the title. Why? (Note: `ClassListPin` is just a static class which contains some elements and one of these, is the `List<Pin>` pins)
