Answer 1

```
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
class Tile
{
private int m_x;
private int m_y;
public int x
{
get { return m_x; }
set { m_x = value; }
}
public void New(int xc, int yc)
{
m_x = xc;
m_y = yc;
}
}
}
```

Answer 2

Try
```
public Tile(int xc, int yc)
{
m_x = xc;
m_y = yc;
}
```

Answer 3

ok yeah that worked too

Answer 4

is it necessary to do that instead of New though?

Answer 5

Ummm, wouldn't New be a method, rather than a constructor?

Answer 6

I'm used to the constructors in vb.net all being called New(), but idk yo

Answer 7

Also, how do I declare a tile object outside of the tile class? Is there a using statement I need to do or something?

Answer 8

Oh, well VisualBasic is weird.

Answer 9

Declare a tile object outside of the tile class? Don't you just need to import it?

Answer 10

What is the code that isn't working?

Answer 11

`tile tile = new tile(i1, i);`

trying to do
`using windowsapplication1.tile` but VS doesn't like that.

Answer 12

Did you make sure to capitalize correctly?

Answer 13

ye.

```
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS0138 A 'using namespace' directive can only be applied to namespaces; 'Tile' is a type not a namespace. Consider a 'using static' directive instead WindowsFormsApplication1
```

Answer 14

WAIT NEVERMIND I GOT IT
it was capitalization in the line declaring the object
capitalization is going to be the death of me

Answer 15

Why would you need a tile object anyway?

Answer 16

The board is made up of tile objects? What data are they keeping track of?

Answer 17

ye the board is made up of tile objects, which are only in there to keep track of piece locations p much

Answer 18

If you make an array of arrays to store pieces, the indices will indicate the tile positions.

Answer 19

```
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Tile : PictureBox
{
private int m_x;
private int m_y;
public int x
{
get { return m_x; }
set { m_x = value; }
}
public int y
{
get { return m_y; }
set { m_y = value; }
}
public Tile(int xc, int yc)
{
base.@New;
m_x = xc;
m_y = yc;
}
}
}
```

Answer 20

The error is at base.@New;, because PictureBox's constructor isn't New, apparently. No idea what it is.

Answer 21

```
public Tile(int xc, int yc)
```
Change to
```
public Tile(int xc, int yc) : base()
```

Answer 22

Where do you get this `.@New` stuff?

Answer 23

I don't think you can really rely much on VisualBasic for this stuff.

Answer 24

I'm using a code converter to try to help understand the syntax

Answer 25

converted mybase.new because that's how vb calls base constructors

Answer 26

thanks again tho :*

Answer 27

Not sure if you even need `: base()`, it might be default behavior

Answer 28

still couldn't hurt to add it, I reckon
