non invocable member cannot be used like a method

[mp]

Hi, newb trying to learn c#.

trying to write stubs to organize thoughts about my program design
before actually implementing them.

I have a class cStone with a property .Volume

when the prop is accessed i need to calculate the volume and return
When I write a stub to do the calculation I get errors.
I have a private double variable to hold the value mdVolume
(in practice I would do a check if volume was already set so only
calculate once)

public double Volume
{get
{CalculateVolume(); //error non invocable member cannot be used like
a method
return mdVolume;
}
}

private void CalculateVolume{}; //error property or indexer must have
accessor ...(but it's not a propery it's a method or thats what i
thought i needed to do

have searched the errors and read many posts but dont' understand how to
fix this, any help appreciated

Hi, newb trying to learn c#.

think i figured it out

property vs method

property {}
method (){}

i was missing parens on
private void CalculateVolume() { }
