Cannot Assign because it is a method group C#?

Question

Cannot Assign \"AppendText\" because it is a \"method group\".

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    String text = \"\";

    public Form1()
    {
                 


        

Answer 1

You have to call the AppendText in this way:

textBox1.AppendText("Some text")

Answer 2

Use following

textBox2.AppendText(text);

Instead of

textBox2.AppendText = text;

AppendText is not a property but a method. Thus it needs to be invoked with parameter and cannot be assigned directly.

Properties are special methods, that support assignments due to special handling in compiler.

Answer 3

Do this instead (AppendText is a method, not a property; which is exactly what the error message is telling you):

textBox2.AppendText(text);

Answer 4

I figured out that the variable name declared was similar to a method name and hence it didn't allow me to assign a value.
The moment I changed the name it worked!

Answer 5

AppendText is a method and you must call it.

textBox2.AppendText(text);

Answer 6

textBox2.AppendText(text); is a method. You have to call it like one. You were performing an assignment operation on a method.
