Convert

Agweet

Hi All, i am busy trying to convert an int to a ReportWS.MonthlyDOWRecurrence, this is what i got MonthlyDOWRecurrence pattern = new MonthlyDOWRecurrence(); pattern.WhichWeekSpecified = true; pattern.WhichWeek = Convert.ToInt16(Combobox1.SelectedItem.Value); but i always get the following error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'ReportWS.WeekNumberEnum'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) In VB.Net it works if you say: pattern.WhichWeek = CInt(Combobox1.SelectedItem.Value); can someone please tell me how to correct this?

well i not familiar with the classes you are using but as the error is suggesting 'WhichWeek' is an enum value then you might want to try an enum parse. There should be an enum collection for the 'WhichWeek' type which will have a static Parse function. Something like...

(WhichWeeks)WhichWeeks.Parse(typeof(WhichWeeks), Combobox1.SelectedItem.Value);

...I highly doubt that will work but hopefully you will get the idea of what you need to do

Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday.

The answer is in the error message, just cast it: pattern.WhichWeek = (ReportWS.WeekNumberEnum) ... I assume this is C# (correctly) trying to ensure you are setting the enum to valid values only. (Your combo box can only return valid enum members, right?)

Try this: pattern.WhichWeek = (ReportWS.WeekNumberEnum)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(ReportWS.WeekNumberEnum), Combobox1.SelectedItem.Value);
