I wrote a class for reading WAV files in C# but I cant get it to work.

Question

The error is 'does not contain a contructor that takes one argument'.

I tried WavReader reader = new WavReader(@"")

Here is the class I wrote...

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace WAV2MP3  
{  
    public class WavReader  
    {  
        private Int32 chunkID;  
        private Int32 chunkSize;  
        private Int32 format;  
        private Int32 subchunk1ID;  
        private Int32 subchunk1Size;

        public void New(string fileName)  
        {

            BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);  
  
            chunkID = br.ReadInt32();  
            chunkSize = br.ReadInt32();

        }

Try replacing public void New(string fileName) with public WavReader(string fileName).
