Can't call PdfDoucment.LoadFromFile or any methods

[hannahchoi]

Hi, just installed FreeSpire.pdf and my code:
using Spire.Pdf;
namespace Oursystem.Tests.Reports
{
public class PubPDF
{
static string filename = "myreport.pdf";
string filepath = "C:\\documents\\myreport.pdf";

PdfDocument doc= new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromFile(filepath);

Issue: I'm getting compile error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error IDE1007 The name 'doc.LoadFromFile' does not exist in the current context. Tests C:\Tests\Reports\PubPDF.cs 14 Active
Error IDE1007 The name 'doc' does not exist in the current context. Tests C:\Tests\Reports\PubPDF.cs 14 Active

I uninstall/reinstall, and update-install from nuget manager, but can't call any of methods from PdfDocument doc

Anyone had this kind of issue, please help us. Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the code snippet. Initializing a variable and calling a method directly within a class definition is not valid. They should be initialized in a method body or constructor instead.
Please see the following code for reference

Code: Select all

namespace Oursystem.Tests.Reports
{
    public class PubPDF
    {
        private string filename = "myreport.pdf";
        private string filepath = "C:\\documents\\myreport.pdf";

        public void TestLoadFile()
        {
            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            doc.LoadFromFile(filepath);

            // TODO
        }
    }
}
