Label.Text property
-
I discovered an interesting occurance today. The below code creates a compile time error as expected...
int i = 5; label1.Text = i;But this code works fine...int i = 5; label1.Text = "Test " + i;I had a look on Lutz Roeder's Reflector but couldn't find an obvious reason why this works. Could someone enlighten me? Mark. -

string + somethingif something is not a string, the compiler will replace it bysomething.ToString()automatically. :)Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles]

--Here 2 See Sharp-- I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. :)

Could someone enlighten me? Mark.Interesting... I had initially thought it may have been something a little more synister deep under the covers of C#. It's interesting that the C# developers decided to add functionality for converting non-string types if they are appended, but not for non-string types on their own. Thanks for clearing that up guys.
