    }</pre> in the last and near the constructor <pre lang="C#">// Constructor

    public TestForm()
    {</pre> i am getting error as method must have return type while compling and the code in my

    Hi Kavitha.

    Instead of posting all the code can you post the method relate code where the error message is flagged. So that we can easily understand and can provide proper solution to you.
