Why can I not assign method group to implicity -typed local variable?

[Brian Connelly]

I created a class with a simple string return method

  public class Printer
    {
        public string GetPrinterName()
        {
            return "HP 540P";
        }
 

WHEN I try to call the method on a button_click event, I get an error "Cannot assign method group to an implicity-typed local varaible" which in this case is the var result.

     private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {     
            var p = new Printer();
            var result = p.GetPrinterName;
            var isReady = Printer.IsPrinterReady(result);
 
            MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Is the Printer ready: {0}", isReady));

Can you share light and help me?

I believe this line:

var result = p.GetPrinterName;

Should be:

var result = p.GetPrinterName();
