does not implement interface member

Question

Hi I have the following code but I keep getting the error:

'JsonWcfService.GetVenues' does not implement interface member 'GetVenuesByLocation(string search)'.

I am fairly new to C and .Net so most of this is cut and paste to be honest.

Your help would be much appreciated.

    {
        [OperationContract]
        //attribute for returning JSON format
        [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
            ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
            BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
            UriTemplate = "json/Venues/search={search}")]
        //method
        List<Venue> GetAllVenuesMethod(string search);

The first function works but the second one doesn't.

Answer 1

Second function is inside the class Venue not in GetVenues, move it to GetVenues

Answer 2

Your class GetVenues does not implement the method mentioned in your error message. Where exactly are you stuck? GetVenuesByLocation(string search) is defined in the class Venue.

I have noticed that this question is starting to garner interest. The issue here is very easy: your class does not implement (even if it's abstract, you have to define them) all methods defined in the interface. Your IDE should warn you of this before compiling.
