Question

I encountered this error:

Cannot implicitly convert type "System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginView" to "Login"

The error occured on Line 26.

Source Error:

Line 26:         Login Login1 =(System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginView)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1");
Line 27:         TextBox UserName = (TextBox)Login1.FindControl("UserName");
Line 28:         TextBox FailureText = (TextBox)Login1.FindControl("FailureText");

and I had declare the following as my namespaces. But errors still remained.

using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

Can anyone give me a suggestion?

Answer 1

You’re casting to LoginView:

(System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginView)

And expecting to get: Login

Login Login1 = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginView)....

Change to:

LoginView Login1 = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginView)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1");

Or:

Login Login1 = (Login)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1");

Depends on what you’re trying to do.
