Creating a dependency property

Windows Presentation Foundation 4.5 Cookbook 2012
ISBN 978-1-84968-622-8

Creating a dependency property, page 16
Ex:
1    public partial class SimpleControl : UserControl{
2    public SimpleControl(){ InitializeComponent(); }
3   prodp //<-- Define a DependancyProperty Code snippet for a property using DependencyProperty as backing store
}

Following the above reference, I unable to compile the application due to line 3. According to the book, if the cursor is set on top of the prodp (no semicolon) the comment I have added to the line should appear as a tip, however, intellisense in my VSE2013 is reporting it as an problem and the compiler reports:

error CS1519: Invalid token '}' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

which is correct. What is most confusing is that if I add the semicolon at the end of line 3 I get this error msg:

error CS1519: Invalid token ';' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

The book is based on VS2010 and I am using 2013, could this be the problem?

Thanks
