Compiler is refusing to compile correct code in Unity3d C#

Question

I just added an integer argument to a function definition and added an integer to the only instance where the function is called. an error is generated:

CustomShaderEditor.cs(44,46): error CS1501: No overload for method UpdateTexture' takes 0' arguments

I don't know how to cope with an error of this kind, I would love some advice.

UpdateTexture( i ); //'=-='error is for this line

This is not the problem with your code. There is a problem somewhere else. Make sure to save the new code and see whether your old code is still the one being used instead of the new code. Also re-start Unity. If these fails, dump your whole code here for further help because what you have now is NOT the problem.
