I believe the error was because a method was used in the syntax of a property, this should do it:

if (!rowCells.IsProductNameNull())

Hi Friend,

believe the error was because a method was used in the syntax of a property, this should do it:

if (!rowCells.IsProductNameNull())

That's right.I'ven't seen the error msg properly.Even my commonsense didn't direct me.

It should be 'if (!rowCells.IsProductNameNull())' only.

Thanx,

Ch.T.Gopi Kumar.

Your intuition was correct. Whoever wrote the code for "IsProductNameFull" wrote it as a function instead of a property. Meaning he did:

public function bool IsPropertyNameFull()
{
  return <stuff>;
}

instead of:

public function bool IsPropertyNameFull
{
  get { return <stuff>; }
}

Which, IMO, is kind of a silly thing to do.
