[RESOLVED] No value on all code paths

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

In more and more of my functions (althought they still work) i'm getting a warning the function doesn't return a value on all code paths.

for example:

Function functionLoadHiddenFields(ByVal fileLocation As String, ByVal Y As Integer)
 
        '// Check if the file exists
        If File.Exists(fileLocation) Then
 
            '// Load the xml document
            Dim XMLDoc As New Xml.XmlDocument
 
            '// Find and load the XML file
            XMLDoc.Load(fileLocation)
 
            '// Tell where to look for the data we need
            Dim XMLItem As Xml.XmlNode = XMLDoc.SelectSingleNode("hiddenFields/hiddenValues")
 
            'MessageBox.Show((XMLItem.Attributes("hiddenFieldsID" & (Y)).InnerText))
            Return XMLItem.Attributes("hiddenFieldsID" & (Y)).InnerText
 
        End If
 
    End Function

if i put in the return false it wouldn't show the message, is it basically a way of saying:

if expression true do this, return true, else return false

i know in PHPO for example i can just return either true, or a value.

thanks for any info guys
