trivial ? build error

Hi all,

II am getting a build error for the folowing statement:

String sGetVarVal = Request.QueryString("myvar");

error:

System.Web.HttpRequest.QueryString' denotes a 'property' where a 'method'
was expected

I though that the statement is correct!! have seen it a lot of times. Can
anyone help on this? Thanks

Carlos.Use [ ] - this squre brackets instead of this ( )

Regards
Thangam,

Carlos,

Have you just moved from vb to vc#?

String sGetVarVal = Request.QueryString["myvar"];

Try String sGetVarVal = Request.QueryString["myvar"];

You're using VB syntax in C# code.

As others have pointed out, C# cleans up the ambiguity with respect to
functions() and arrays[]

If, as others have suggested, you are moving from VB.Net to C#, you might

Other than that my follow up to this thread has been little more than a
"what he said" ...but makes me feel nonetheless special :)
