[C#] Code [HELP]

Code:

---

using System;

class Animal
{
    string kindOfAnimal;
    string name;
    int numberOfLegs;
    int height;
    int length;
    string color;
    bool hasTail;
    bool isMammal;
    bool spellingCorrect;
}
    static void Main()
    {
        Animal fiddleSticks;
        fiddleSticks = new Animal();

fiddlesticks.kindOfAnimal = "Cat";
fiddlesticks.name = "Fiddlesticks The Cat";
fiddlesticks.numberOfLegs = 4;
fiddlesticks.height = 50;
fiddlesticks.length = 80;
fiddlesticks.color = "Black";
fiddlesticks.hasTail = true;
fiddlesticks.isMammal = true;
    }
}

I'm learning C# off the MSDN website, but Visual Studio give me errors in the underlined/red bits.
I've checked the code thrice, and as far as I can see, there's nothing wrong.

Does anyone know why they come up?

You have 2 opening brackets and 3 closing, which should give you a hint. Add a ; after your class and it all should be solved (and remove the extra bracket at the end, obviously). Very very often unrelated error messages are caused by a missing semicolon, be sharp about those. ;)

Btw, if those indentations were automated, I think they're a pretty good hint about the location of the error, too.

Oh, and don't forget to destroy variables allocated with new, or does C# do this automatically? Sorry I'm a C++ coder.

Lol.
I didn't realise that, thanks.

If I put a semicolon in front of the class (Animal) it asks me to put an opening bracket there, which even if I do, generates an error.

I removed the last closing bracket, and that error went, and I removed 'new' from 'fiddleSticks = new Animal();' and that error went.

But then, the Main code generates an error:
'static void Main()'

Any ideas why?

Its not in a class.

You should have two Classes your 'Animal' class and then a class that surrounds your static Main method.

Also the new needs to be there.

And @ NEgata: C# has the GC (Garbage collector) which destroys all variables once they go out of scope or aren't referenced anywhere

What do you mean?

EDIT:
Like this:?

Code:

---

using System;

class Animal
{
    public string kindOfAnimal;
    public string name;
    private int numberOfLegs;
    private int height;
    protected length;
    public color;
    public bool hasTail;
    public bool isMammal;
    public bool spellingCorrect;
}
    static void Main()
    {
        Animal fiddleSticks;
        fiddleSticks = new Animal();
    }
}
class AnimalII
{
public string Name; "fiddleSticks";
}

You keep using too many brackets, just watch the code and you'll notice.

Also, doesn't a class has to end with a semi-colon?

class Animal
{
....
};

If I don't put the brackets in, the code doesn't work!

Oh, and you don't put a semi-colon at the end of a class. ^^

not in c#, only c++

but yes, you use too many brackets. you dont need a closing bracket after your variables

Code:

---


class A
{    //opening bracket for class A

    int member_var;
    int member_var2;

    //no bracket here..

    static void Main()
    {    //opening bracket Main

        //things to do in Main

    }    //closing bracket Main

}    //closing bracket class A

Right, I had a vague memory of having read something like that. Guess my advice was completely useless, then, since C# doesn't even want a semicolon after class. :shrug:

Right on the point with extra brackets though.
