C#: The name 'localQBD' does not exist in the current context

Would sure appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction: Using VS2013 which has in my error list "The name 'localQBD' does not exist in the current context."

C#

rp.OpenConnection2("", "Sample Code from OSR", localQBD);

When I highlight 'OpenConnection2' and press F12 to Go to Definition, I see:

C#

[DispId(15)]
        void OpenConnection2(string appID, string appName, QBXMLRPConnectionType connPref);

When I highlight QBXMLRPConnectionType and press F12 to Go to Definition, I see:

C#

public enum QBXMLRPConnectionType
    {
        unknown = 0,
        localQBD = 1,
        remoteQBD = 2,
        localQBDLaunchUI = 3,
        remoteQBOE = 4,
    }

How can I diagnose why I am getting the error message?

Thanks--

There is nothing to "diagnose", you just don't have this variable or member name.

Suggestion: You should use the "Reply" to respond to comments (like mine), or the "Have a Question or Comment?" to respond to a proposed Solution (like Sergey's). That way we'll get notification of the response. Otherwise, we'll find out only if we happen to recheck the question.
Also, using a "Solution" for replies is very strongly frowned upon as it is seen as an abuse of the Reputation Points system.

Solution 2

Thanks Sergey - yes, thanks: changing the line as follows resolves the problem:

rp.OpenConnection2("", "Sample Code from OSR", QBXMLRPConnectionType.localQBD);

However, this is not my code, it is Intuit's. So it is surprising to me such a change is required to get their code to run, which makes me wonder:

Is there not a way in C# to reference enums without adding such a prefix?

No, there is no way to reference enums without the enumeration type name as the prefix.
However, I'd guess that since this looks like it is sample code (right there in the string!) it isn't intended to be directly usable. Rather, I think it is expected that using this will modify it to approach "your" actual use.

You should not do programming, especially such advanced topics as ADO.NET, without reading in language syntax and other basics. I can foresee a lot more problems and frustrations leading you nowhere, unless you properly learn the language.

Perhaps you meant QBXMLRPConnectionType.localQBD, instead of what you have written. :-)
