Question

// A single blog entry
public class BlogEntry
{
    public string ID;
    public string Title;
    public string Entry;
    public DateTime Date;
    public int UserID;

    // Load an entry based on ID
    public BlogEntry(int EntryID)
    {
        DataClassesDataContext db = new DataClassesDataContext();
        var q = (from Blog in db.tblBlogEntries where Blog.ID == EntryID select Blog).Single();

        // Fill data
        this.ID = EntryID;
        this.Title = q.title;
        this.Entry = q.entry;
        this.Date = (DateTime)q.date;
        this.UserID = (int)q.userID;
    }
}

this.ID = EntryID is throwing the error:

Cannot implicity turn type ‘string’ to
‘int’

I’m baffled, because they are both defined as integers, quite explicitly!

Answer 1

In your class definition, ID is defined as String

 public string ID;

and you are trying to assing an int.
That’s why.
