What is CS0119?

Symptoms

When trying to enter play mode, I am receiving the error below:

error CS0119: Expression denotes a `___' where a `___', `___' or `___' 
was expected

Cause

The CS0119 error is caused when a new type is created using a constructor in an incorrect way.

In this example we are trying to create a new variable of type RectTransform.

Here is how the error appears in this example:

error CS0119: Expression denotes a `type' where a `variable',`value' or `method group' was expected

Resolution

When using C# you need to use the new keyword in front of all constructors. Constructors are like functions that are used to create new objects (or scructs). They always have the same name as the type of object you are creating.
