无法分配给“Loginbutton_TouchUpInside”，因为它是“方法组”

Question

I've been trying to figure out the error of my ways but neither I, Google nor MSDN will can figure it out. It would probably be easy enough if I knew exactly what I was looking for but been trying everything I've come over. At this point I am reaching out to all the guru's out there for a straight answer. I'm running Xamarin on Visual Studio 2019, building an iOS app. Enough backstory, let's introduce the problem:

public partial class LoginViewController : UIViewController
{
    public LoginViewController(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
    {
    }

    public override void ViewDidLoad()
    {
        base.ViewDidLoad();
        Loginbutton_TouchUpInside += Loginbutton_TouchUpInside;
    }

    private void Loginbutton_TouchUpInside(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DatabaseReference reference = Database.DefaultInstance.GetRootReference().GetChild("Login");
        reference.SetValue<NSString>((NSString)"Connection is Successful");
    }

}

My issue is with this line:

Loginbutton_TouchUpInside += Loginbutton_TouchUpInside;

Thanks in advance Didrik

My issue is with this line: Loginbutton_TouchUpInside += Loginbutton_TouchUpInside;

The error as already mentioned is correct:

 "Cannot assign to 'Loginbutton_TouchUpInside' because it is a 'method group"

You are trying to assign a method to a method, not possible. What you are wanting to do is handle the TouchUpInside event. In order to do so, you need to assign that button's event to the new method.

 Loginbutton.TouchUpInside += Loginbutton_TouchUpInside

Now when the button is tapped, it will be handled by the Loginbutton_TouchUpInside method/routine.
