Hi, I am very new to the visual C# express and I need help. I am completely lost on understanding the code and what it means. For the example I followed I put the code in "Private void" and I have no idea what this means. can any one point me in the right direction or have a good tutorial I can follow.

Hi,
void means that the method does not return a value, for example if you want to print something to a console window you might have a function like:
void Print(string text)
{
Console.WriteLine(text);
}
However sometimes you want a value to be returned from a method i.e.
double CalculateTax(double amountEarned)
{
return amountEarned * 0.3;
}
The "private" keyword means that the method cannot be called by any code that is not declared inside a class i.e.
class MyClass
{
private void Foo()
{
}
public void Bar()
{
}
}
void main()
{
MyClass x = new MyClass();
//this is okay
x.Bar();
//this is not allowed
x.Foo();
}
If I was you I would go and buy a beginners programming book in C#, search amazon they have lots of good ones, so that you learn the basics of programming.
Mark.
