The type or namespace name 'function' could not be found?

Question

I am writing a function proc in my C# 2008 ASP.Net application and I get the following error: The type or namespace name 'function' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference) ? Any idea what this means?

Accepted Answer

If i understand you correctly, you have written something like this:

```
private function ValidateData() {}
```

If that is correct, then you need to change it to something like this:

```
private bool ValidateData() {}
```

where `bool` in this example, is your return type (boolean). If you have no return (then it is not a function). Here is what you would do then:

```
private void ValidateData() {}
```
