If your file pca_mk_addresslist.csv<\/code> is empty, your foreach<\/code> loop will never be entered (foreach object in an empty collection yields zero iterations). Thus, since you return only in the loop, the case of an empty file never returns anything. That’s not allowed.<\/p>\n

if pca_mk_addresslist.csv has any lines\n    return something\nelse\n    ?\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
You need to tell it what your default<\/em> value should be. It might well be null<\/code>, but you have to tell it that. It isn’t the compiler’s job to assume what you want your program to do. Only to make it easier for you to write it.<\/p>\n
As for your second question, it looks like your file is<\/em>, in fact, empty. Either that or no fields match. You might want to add in some better default text, or step through the program to discover which it is.<\/p>\n
Edit:<\/strong><\/p>\n
As per comment, what you want is something more like<\/p>\n
private String GetAddress(String addressText)\n{\n    var strLength = File.ReadAllLines(\"pca_mk_addresslist.csv\");\n\n    var strLines = File.ReadLines(\"pca_mk_addresslist.csv\");\n    foreach (var line in strLines)\n    {\n        var fields = line.Split(',');\n\n        foreach (var field in fields)\n        {\n            if (field == addressText)\n                return field;\n        }\n    }\n\n    return null;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
