string does not contain a definition

Question

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS1061 'string' does not contain a definition for 'GetFileName' and no accessible extension method 'GetFileName' accepting a first argument of type 'string' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Answer 1

the error says the you have the code:

myObject.GetFileName(...)

where myObject is a string. or

"some string".GetFileName(...)

strings don't have this method. you could have created an string extension method name GetFileName, but it was not found.
