Cannot convert type 'string' to 'ushort'

Marcelo Muzilli · Jun 13, 2006

Howdy all,

in my program, I have a ushort variable and a string variable and if I
try to compile it, I'm receiving this error message: "Cannot convert
type 'string' to 'ushort'".

How can I compare both?

Example:

if ( uVariable != sVariable ) { ... }

Tia,

try using

ushort tmp = ushort.Parse(yourstring) ;
if(YourUShort != tmp) { }

Hi,

There is no implicit conversion between the two types. either you convert
the string to number or the number to string:

ushortvar.ToString == stringVar

or

Convert.ToUnit16( stringVar ) == ushortvar

Cannot convert type 'string' to 'ushort'
