Not All Code Path Return a Value

[Jan Gullett]

When I try to compile the following Constructor, my compiler complains that not all code paths return a value.

Could you suggest potential causes and how in general to diagnose this error?

public override double GetPerformanceValue(SystemPerformance systemPerformance)
{
grossProfit = systemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Gros sProfit;
grossLoss = systemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Gros sLoss;
avgProfPct = systemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Perc ent.AvgProfit;
stdDev = systemPerformance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.Perc ent.StdDev;
}

Not sure why this post shows spaces in Gross and Percent but the source does not.

Hi Jan Gullett,

You need to return something from the method if you write a type (double in your example). If you don't want to return a value, you use void.

Some examples of custom methods are available here:
