Compiler Error CS0161
'method': not all code paths return a value
A method that returns a value must have a return
statement in all code paths. For more information, see Methods.
Example
The following sample generates CS0161:
// CS0161.cs
public class Test
{
public static int Main() // CS0161
{
int i = 5;
if (i < 10)
{
return i;
}
else
{
// Uncomment the following line to resolve.
// return 1;
}
}
}
