0	This Simply means that you have declared a Function and a function always return something and at the end you did not return anything. Now this can be simple resloved like this public Table<ClsCustomer> getcustomers(out string msg) { try { DataContext Db = new DataContext("Data Source=BAIJU;Initial Catalog=baiju;Integrated Security=True"); Table<ClsCustomer> customer = Db.GetTable<ClsCustomer>(); msg = "Success"; return customer; } catch (Exception ex) { msg= ex.Message; } return customer; } Thank you for posting at dotnetfunda Vuyiswa Maseko Thank you for posting at Dotnetfunda [Administrator] Klbaiju, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Thats because if the try {} fails then you dont return a customer object. Try putting either return null; or return new Table<ClsCustomer>(); at the end so it looks like this: public Table<ClsCustomer> getcustomers(out string msg) { try { DataContext Db = new DataContext("Data Source=BAIJU;Initial Catalog=baiju;Integrated Security=True"); Table<ClsCustomer> customer = Db.GetTable<ClsCustomer>(); msg = "Success"; return customer; } catch (Exception ex) { msg= ex.Message; } return new Table<ClsCustomer>(); } Klbaiju, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
