int value = -1; string textColor = null;
textColor = value < 0 ? textColor = "red" : textColor = "green";
It doesn't work here... and it does work in Visual Studio... I've written many ternary expressions before but I just don't get ti why is this not working here...
int value = -1;
string textColor = null;
textColor = (value < 0) ? textColor = "red" : textColor = "green";
