Hello, I am trying to run my program done in c# with Windows application, but it is giving a build error that I am not able to solve. I thank anyone who can help me ! Thanks ! ( The error is happening in the void method Decode )

There is no Return in the method, there is a Return inside the if but only it does not help, because if the condition is not met, there is no "where to go".

Try it this way:

 public static string Decodificar(string entrada) 
    {
        TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider decript = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
        MD5CryptoServiceProvider md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();

        try 
        {
            if (entrada.Trim() != "")
            {
                string chave = "cx3f2e4ct4d2";
                decript.Key = md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(chave));
                decript.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
                ICryptoTransform dencrypt = decript.CreateEncryptor();
                byte[] buff = Convert.FromBase64String(entrada);

                return Encoding.Default.GetString(dencrypt.TransformFinalBlock(buff, 0, buff.Length));
            }
    return "";  
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            throw exception;
        }
        finally 
        {
            decript = null;
            md5 = null;
        }
    }

Notice that after the if I put an empty return..
