c# Unexpected symbol '=' in struct, class.....
I must be doing something wrong. I'm getting the error in the title, but I have no idea why. The error is on line 8 and 9 Here is my code:
 public class ItemDatabase {
     
     private List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
     private Dictionary<string, Item> itemPresets = new Dictionary<string, Item>();
     
     Item preset;
     
     preset = new Item();
     preset.Name = "Rusty Sword";
     
     
         
     
     public void SetPreset(string name, Item preset) {
         itemPresets[name] = preset;
     }
     
     public Item AddNew(string name) {
         Item preset = itemPresets[name];
         
         items.Add(preset);
         
         return preset;
     }
 }
 
               Item is a class, with the property Name.
Also, the autocopmlete or whatever isn't showing my variables, in case it has anything to do with this. What am I doing wrong??
Thanks

The following needs to be in a method.
  preset = new Item();
  preset.Name = "Rusty Sword";
 
               If you need to have this be predefined you need to modify Item to have a constructor that accepts a name and do the following:
 Item preset = new Item("Rusty Sword");
 
              Would you $$anonymous$$d explaining on why it needs to be in a method please?
Because that's just the way c# works. $$anonymous$$aybe this stackoverflow post would help?
Ahhh never$$anonymous$$d, after experimenting a bit more I understand now. Thanks for you answer though, It's all working ok now!
