C# error: Use of unassigned local variable

Question

I\'m not sure why I\'m getting this error, but shouldn\'t this code compile, since I\'m already checking to see if queue is getting initialized?

public stat         


        

Answer 1

The compiler only knows that the code is or isn't reachable if you use "return". Think of Environment.Exit() as a function that you call, and the compiler don't know that it will close the application.
