Error - Head First C# - Chapter 1

Question

Hello, I am a total begginer to c#.

After searching a lot, I decided to read the Head first book.

My code, for page 47, is not going good. Can someone tell me the error?

Ps: Sorry for the bad English /:

namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(“Contact List 1.0.\nWritten by: me”, “About”);
        }
    }
}

Thank you.

Answer 1

What's your problem? Do you get any error message? Then it may be helpful, if you could show us the message you received.

Answer 2

Do not copy the source code from the book, type it manually. Because the books usually use a variety of fonts and typographic symbols, which are not recognized by the compiler. In this case the problem is in quotation marks.

From your book:

MessageBox.Show(“Contact List 1.0.\nWritten by: me”, “About”);

Right:

MessageBox.Show("Contact List 1.0.\nWritten by: me", "About");
