>>I broke the code down to a very simple case:

>>

        public void SendEmails(Guid emailPK, string subject, string html, out int errorCode, out string errorMessage)
>>        {
>>            errorCode = 0;
>>            errorMessage = "";
>>        }

>>
>>and now my calling code compiles properly:
>>
>>

                int errorCode;
>>                string errorMessage;
>>                emailNotifications.SendEmails(emailPK, email.blk_subject, email.blk_html, out errorCode, out errorMessage);

>>
>>so it looks like the problem is somewhere in the code that I cut out of the SendEmails method.
