Question

Here is my code within my ASP.net project. I am trying to store some values into my object with my web form, but it pops up an error message saying: Cannot implicitly convert type ‘short’ to ‘string’.

    textbox.Text = Convert.ToInt16(object.number);
    lstbox.SelectedValue = Convert.ToInt16(object.ID);

Within my object class, I have declared my variables to int. Please let me know what is wrong.

Answer 1

The Text and SelectedValue properties are strings. Why would you convert the values to short in the first place?

textbox.Text = object.number.ToString();
lstbox.SelectedValue = object.ID.ToString();
