Method 1

You need to put the line in error in a class constructor or a method.

Method 2

LoadData is a static method. You call it on the type, not an instance.

ChaosSoftware.WorldTime.LoadData("worldtime.xml");

This needs to be placed inside a method in order to execute (constructor or other method).

Additionally, though not the reason for the error, you should use " to delimit a string. In C#, single quotes are for character literals (that is, single characters). What you have will not compile.

Method 3

LoadData seems to be a static function, so you should do this instead (without an object instance):

ChaosSoftware.WorldTime.LoadData("blahblah...");
