Non-invocable member cannot be used like a method?

Question

I keep getting the following errors in my program:

'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox.Text' is a 'property' but used like a 'method' 

and

Non-invocable member 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.Text' cannot be used like a method. 

Here is the code:

if (OffenceBox.Text != "")    {  AddBook(int.Parse(AgeBox.Text), NameBox.Text, AddressBox.Text, (HeightBox.Text), OffenceBox.Text());    }    else    {    MessageBox.Show("Age must be max 3 numbers in length");    }    } 

How can I fix this problem?

EDIT: Fixed the error and now encountered another: Argument 4: Cannot convert String to int and I can't seem to fix the problem.

Where you've written "OffenceBox.Text()", you need to replace this with "OffenceBox.Text". It's a property, not a method - the clue's in the error!
