I'm sure the syntax is right.

// Check if amount equals $1.00
                if (totalChange >= 100)
            {    
           
                MessageBox.Show("Equal to $1.00");
            
            
                else

                MessageBox.Show("Not equal to $1.00");
            }

Not with the braces there, it's not correct. Try removing the braces and you'll get it to compile nicely.

Thanks, I did, I have a bad habit of not cleaning up the code so the braces line up with the according classes and namespaces.

I recommend picking and consistently applying an indent style when you write code. It will help you spot issues like the above more easily.

Removing the braces fixes it in this instance, but I wonder if it isn't a fundamental understanding issue (if it isn't, forgive me).

When you only execute one line of code per condition, then this is fine:

if (condition)
    DoStuff();
else
    DoOtherStuff();

But you [i]will need those curly braces if you execute multiple lines of code per condition. But a set of curly braces belongs to each condition, and there isn't a set for the entire block.

if (condition)
{
    var thingy = GetThingy();
    DoStuff(thingy);
}
else
{
    var thingy = GetOtherThingy();
    DoOtherStuff(thingy);
}

Make sense?
