CS7036 – There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter ‘xyz’

The error message CS7036 – There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'xyz' in C# indicates that you are trying to call a constructor or method without providing all the required arguments. This typically happens when:

1. The constructor or method has one or more required parameters, but you are not passing the correct number of arguments.
2. You are using an object initializer without providing values for required constructor parameters.

Here’s how you can troubleshoot and fix this issue:

---

1. Check the Constructor or Method Signature

• Ensure that you are providing all the required arguments when calling the constructor or method. Example:

   public class MyClass
   {
       public MyClass(int a, int b) { }
   }

   MyClass obj = new MyClass(); // Error: No arguments provided

Fix:

   MyClass obj = new MyClass(10, 20); // Provide required arguments

---

2. Check for Optional Parameters

• If the constructor or method has optional parameters, ensure that you are providing values for all required parameters. Example:

   public class MyClass
   {
       public MyClass(int a, int b = 0) { }
   }

   MyClass obj = new MyClass(); // Error: 'a' is required

Fix:

   MyClass obj = new MyClass(10); // Provide required argument 'a'

---

3. Check for Object Initializers

• If you are using an object initializer, ensure that you are providing values for all required constructor parameters. Example:

   public class MyClass
   {
       public MyClass(int a, int b) { }
       public int C { get; set; }
   }

   MyClass obj = new MyClass { C = 30 }; // Error: No arguments provided for constructor

Fix:

   MyClass obj = new MyClass(10, 20) { C = 30 }; // Provide required constructor arguments

---

4. Check for Method Overloads

• If the method has multiple overloads, ensure that you are calling the correct one with the appropriate arguments. Example:

   public class MyClass
   {
       public void MyMethod(int a, int b) { }
       public void MyMethod(int a) { }
   }

   MyClass obj = new MyClass();
   obj.MyMethod(); // Error: No overload takes 0 arguments

Fix:

   MyClass obj = new MyClass();
   obj.MyMethod(10); // Call the correct overload

---

5. Check for Default Constructors

• If the class does not have a parameterless constructor, ensure that you are providing arguments for the constructor. Example:

   public class MyClass
   {
       public MyClass(int a) { }
   }

   MyClass obj = new MyClass(); // Error: No parameterless constructor

Fix:

   MyClass obj = new MyClass(10); // Provide required argument

---

Example of Correct Code

using System;

public class MyClass
{
    public MyClass(int a, int b)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"a: {a}, b: {b}");
    }

    public int C { get; set; }
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Provide required constructor arguments
        MyClass obj1 = new MyClass(10, 20);

        // Use object initializer with required constructor arguments
        MyClass obj2 = new MyClass(10, 20) { C = 30 };
    }
}

---

Summary

• The CS7036 error occurs when you try to call a constructor or method without providing all the required arguments.
• Check the constructor or method signature, handle optional parameters, ensure correct usage of object initializers, and verify method overloads.
• Use an IDE or code editor to help identify and fix the issue.
