[cowdung7]

public bool searchGame(string gameName)
    {
        string[] searchGame = new string[] { "Tibia", "Combat Arms", "Need for Speed", "Moto GP", "Risk", "Red Alert", "Monopoly", "Scrabble" };

        if (gameName.Length > 0)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i <= 7; i++)

                if (searchGame[i] == gameName)
                {
                    return true;
                }
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

// the error stated "Service.search Game(string): not all code paths return a value"

anyone knows how to solve this?

Suppose gameName is not an empty string but it is not a valid game name; what does your method return? That's what the compiler is complaining about.

btw, this is the C and C++ forum. C# is an entirely different language. Questions on C# should be posted in the .NET forum. Oh, and don't double post.

kind regards,

I think your second 'if' statement needs an 'else' counterpart that returns false. The error says it all: not every possible path returns a value.
