Question

I used

Session["EmpName"] = Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString[1]);
lblEmployeeName.Text = Session["EmpName"].ToString;

to show the data in label from session but it shows following error:

Cannot Convert Method Group ‘ToString’ to non-delegate type ‘string’.

Tell me any solution…

Answer 1

lblEmployeeName.Text = Session["EmpName"].ToString; 

should be:

lblEmployeeName.Text = Session["EmpName"].ToString(); 

even better would be, (this will not crash if the Session[“EmpName”] is null):

string empName= Session["EmpName"] as string;
if (empName != null)
{
    lblEmployeeName.Text = empName;
}
else
{
    // Session expired?
}

An extra note:

Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString[1]); 

You should look for a specific value, you can’t be sure of the order from the QueryString values! And the Request.QueryString[1] returns a string. No need for convert.

Request.QueryString["Value"];
