Question

Basically here is the main part of the code that contains the error:

...

var lname = Request["lastName"];
var comment = Request["comment"];
var sex = Request["sex"];
var title = "";

if(sex = "woman"){
    title = "Misses ";
} else {
    title = "Mister ";
}

...

When i run the site and submit the form it gives me the following Compiler Error Message: CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type ‘string’ to ‘bool’:

Does anyone have a solution to this?
Every suggestion is much appreciated.

Answer 1

It should be

if(sex == "woman")

And you can consider using ternary operator

title = (sex == "woman") ? "Misses" : "Mister";
