C# Error

[bcavender]

C# Noob Error - I've tried adding semicolons and searched examples trying to figure this basic error out for an hour,  but can't figure out how to clear the two CS1002 errors.

Need an experienced eye that sees what I am missing ... maybe a suggestion of a resource to study to get up to speed.

Thank You!

elseif is not vaild. should be:
else if

[bcavender]

Fixed that, but the change added an 'else' error to the list ... I have got to be missing something really dead dumb simple here ...

please post the text vs image

public void MainCalculation()
{
    If (HMA_Line[1]>HMA_Line)
    {
        SetColorAndShape(SysColor.MainIndicator3, PBShape.ArrowDn);
        TriggerAlert("HMA10Down", @"HMA10Down");
        return;
    }
    else if (HMA_Line[1]<HMA_Line)
    {
        SetColorAndShape(SysColor.MainIndicator2, PBShape.ArrowUp);
        TriggerAlert("HMA10Up", @"HMA10Up");
        return;
    }
}

the first IF  - you have the I capitalized. should be just "if" - lower case

[bcavender]

I knew C# was case sensitive, but my reading had seen stuff like this that used upper case "If" ... but use lower case in real code.

Knew this had to be something simple.  The semicolon error was a pretty good distraction ... 

Thank you for your good help ... I would have wasted a lot more time on this nuance without your assist.

Best regards,

Yeah I checked again and the semicolon error is what the compiler in MT returns on that code. Visual Studio's C# returns both the semicolon error and the unknown identifier on If error.

Thanks Mike!

That one really had me scratching my head ... LOL!

Appreciate your good help!!!
