Returning a method's value c# error 'keyword followed by void'

[Danboy360]

I've created a method which selects all the cells in Excel beginning with a1 and ending when there are no more columns or rows.  When a button is clicked, I then want to initiate this so that it selects them, however I am getting an error that I can't return the value.  This is what I have:       

        public void selectAllCells(Worksheet activeSheet)
        {
            activeSheet.get_Range("a1").EntireRow.EntireColumn.Select();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            return selectAllCells;
        }

How do I go about returning the method when the button is clicked.

The selectAllCells is a method and not a variable or object.  In order to trigger the selectAllCells method you'll need to execute it.

 

public void selectAllCells(Worksheet activeSheet)
{
activeSheet.get_Range("a1").EntireRow.EntireColumn.Select();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	// I think this may be right, if not try removing the this.
	this.selectAllCells();
}

that's only going to call it you are at assigning it to anything.

I'm trying to assign the 

activeSheet.get_Range("a1").EntireRow.EntireColumn.Select();

so that when button1 is clicked, it will run that piece of code.
