c# - does not implement interface member

Question

Hi I have the following code but I keep getting the error:

'JsonWcfService.GetVenues' does not implement interface member 'GetVenuesByLocation(string search)'.

I am fairly new to C and .Net so most of this is cut and paste to be honest.

Your help would be much appreciated.

The first function works but the second one doesn't.

Answer 1

Your class GetVenues does not implement the method mentioned in your error message. Where exactly are you stuck? GetVenuesByLocation(string search) is defined in the class Venue.

I have noticed that this question is starting to garner interest. The issue here is very easy: your class does not implement (even if it's abstract, you have to define them) all methods defined in the interface. Your IDE should warn you of this before compiling.
