Compiler Error CS0547

'property' : property or indexer cannot have void type

void is invalid as a return value for a property.

For more information, see Properties.

The following sample generates CS0547:

// CS0547.cs
public class a
{
   public void i   // CS0547
   // Try the following declaration instead:
   // public int i
   {
      get
      {
         return 0;
      }
   }
}

public class b : a
{
   public static void Main()
   {
   }
}
