string problem

[Guest]

I am trying to use an if statement to obtain a return value to use somewhere else in my program. Can you look at this code and tell me what needs to be added to the code to keep from getting an unassigned local variable sortParameter error



public string SortParameter(



string sortParamete

if (fiscalYearCheck.Checked == true



sortParameter = "wo11"



else if (custCheck.Checked == true



sortParameter = "wopm2"



return sortParameter





Thanks

Dave,

You can just declare your variable like this:

string sortParameter = null;

Hope this helps.

Dave,

Try doing this;

string sortParameter = null;

this way the string is assigned a value. thus no error
