    I have this simple toString method in my code:

    public String toString()
    {return "Item ", desc, " has product code ", code, ", and the price is €", price;}

    however, I am getting an error that:

    This method must return a result of type String

    Anybody know what I've done wrong, and more importantly how to rectify it?!

    Try:

    public String toString()
    {return "Item " + desc + " has product code " + code, " + and the price is €" + price;}

    Use string.format:
    string.Format("Item {0} has the product code {1}, and the price is {2}.", desc, code, price);
