Question

Dim dtStart As Date = txtHStart_Date.Text
Dim dtEnd As Date = txtHEnd_Date.Text

Dim ts As TimeSpan = dtEnd - dtStart
Console.WriteLine(ts.TotalDays = lblHNoDays.Text)

When trying to write to a label I get this message:

Conversion from string “Label” to type ‘Double’ is not valid.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

It’s unclear to me what the last line means. Asigning a string to a double inside a Console.WriteLine call seems to make no sense to me.

What I can imagine is that you want to write something like that:

Dim dtStart As Date = txtHStart_Date.Text
Dim dtEnd As Date = txtHEnd_Date.Text

Dim ts As TimeSpan = dtEnd - dtStart

lblHNoDays.Text = ts.TotalDays.ToString() ' Set value to label.
Console.WriteLine(ts.TotalDays)           ' Output value to console.
