On a project I took over, there was this extension method:
public static DateTime? TryParseDateTime(this string val)
{
DateTime date;
return DateTime.TryParse(val, out date) ? date : (DateTime?)null;
}
Personally, I like to use inline variable declarations when possible so I updated this method to:
public static DateTime? TryParseDateTime(this string val)
{
return DateTime.TryParse(val, out DateTime date) ? date : (DateTime?)null;
}
This project is in VS 2017 and the Error list shows no errors, but the project fails to build. When I check the output window, I see an error is occurring in this method with the message:
2>C:...\Extensions.cs(35,56,35,60): error CS1003: Syntax error, ',' expected
I am not clear on what this error is referring to since this error only appears when I actually try to build. I also tried cleaning the solution and rebuilding but the error persists. Any insight into the cause of this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
