i can not seem to get this code to work. someone please help

You are calling an instance method from a static method. It will work if you add the keyword "static" to the instance method:


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int returnValue = RandomNumber(5, 20);
Console.Write(returnValue);
}
private static int RandomNumber(int min, int max)
{
Random random = new Random();
return random.Next(min, max);
}
}
}

.
