wrong cast ?

[Sam]

Hi
I have a cast issue, I can't figure out why:

txtTabId.Text = DirectCast(Value, String)

Value is of type Integer and txtTabId.Text expects a String.

I get the error :

'DirectCast' operand must have a reference type, but 'Integer' is a
value type.

 

[Sam]

doing Value.ToString instead has solved the problem

What about txtTabID.text = Value.ToString() ?

[Mythran]

doing Value.ToString instead has solved the problem

or CType(Value, String) or CStr(Value)

Sam,

DirectCast is a cast
CType, Cstr, and ToString are conversions

VBNet is really strict in that.

Cor,

'CType' is not necessarily a conversion operator.
