Compiler Error Message

dancer · Jun 27, 2007

I get this message saying line 75 is the problem.
But when I take out " & StateOfInjury & " from a line much further down,
the error goes away.

Anybody know why?

Compiler Error Message: BC30452: Operator '&' is not defined for types
'String' and 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox'.

Hi there,

To get the value entered by the user in a textbox you need to use Text
property:

"whateever" & dateOfAccident.Text & "whtever " & userName.Text &
"blablabla<h2>"

In addtion you do a lot of string concatenation and usage of StringBuilder
class would be much more efficient (a small hint)

hope this helps
