convert.toString

[simon]

I have datetime variable:

DateTime datum;

I set it and when I try to put it into a label:

labelDate.Text =datum.ToShortDateString;

I get an error:

Error 5 Cannot convert method group 'ToShortDateString' to non-delegate type
'string'. Did you intend to invoke the method?

I don't understand why this error?

labelDate.text is type of string and also datum.ToShortDateString should
return string.

It works if I use convert.toString function, but I don't know why I should
use convert function if both sides of equation are string?

Regards,Simon

you () after ToShortDateString;

labelDate.Text =datum.ToShortDateString();

Hello simon,

Don't forget the () after you call the ToShortDateString() method.
