I am having problems with a string in C#. Please look at the bolded code below. This is the line of code I'm having problems with. I am getting the following error message:
Compiler Error Message: CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string'
Source Error: Line 94: Line 95: //Set module level variable for page title display Line 96: string FullState = dtsArea.Tables[0].Rows[0]["StateName"]; I don't understand why I'm getting this error message now. FullState is supposed to be a string. How do I solve this? |

You may want to use Localization in your dataset/datatable, then you don't have that problem  ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Can you please explain what localization is? I still have a lot to learn about .Net.

| Why would you want to use localization for that? The problem is that ds.Tables.Rows returns an object not a string, which needs to be converted with .ToString()... how can localization do that? |

Yeah, how can it do that well it can't and if I had expressed myself better (or right) it may have been better  Now I think what I wanted to say is to explicitly define the datacolumn datatype i.e.
badTable.Columns.Add("LastName", typeof(String));
Sorry for my attempt to confuse you  ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
