    I'm beginning to suspect that nothing can actually help you... :sigh:

      You cannot cast an Object to an int; it makes no sense. You really need to understand the basics of C#, before trying a project such as this.

      You can if it's a boxed int though, and some ints were assigned to tags so it looks like that was the intention

        The Tag property returns an Object, so it can (as you imply) be cast to an Intxx type, but not to a simple int.

          int is the same type as Int32. This works[^]: object obj = 1; int x = (int)obj;

            Why do I get error when I click on button with image specified cast is not valid here: this.pokusaj[0] = (int)button.Tag;

            switch (this.brojKlikova)

                                this.trenutneKontrole\[0\].Image = button.Image;
                                this.pokusaj\[0\] = (int)button.Tag;

                  There are a couple of things I notice about your code. The first thing I see is that you use a switch statement unnecessarily. As each array item you drop into is 1 away from the value in brojKlikova, you can use a simple subtraction to allocate the correct value. The second issue you have is that you have no idea what's in Tag. It may, or may not, be an int. If I were you, I would use something that is suited to test and convert a value into an int. Specifically, I would use int.TryParse to see if I could actually convert from whatever is in Tag to an int.

                  int tagValue;
                  this.trenutneKontrole[brojKlikova-1] = button.Image;
                  if (!int.TryParse(button.Tag, out tagValue))
                  {
                  pokusaj[brojKlikova-1] = tagValue;
                  }
                  else
                  {
                  System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("The value in the Tag for {0} is not an integer", brojKlikova);
                  }

                  Run the application and watch the Output window to see which one of your Tag values triggers this. It's that simple.

                    Depends on what the object contains. If you have a method:

                    private void MyMethod(object o)
                    {
                    int i = (int) o;
                    ...
                    }

                    And you use it thus:

                    int x = 666;
                    MyMethod(x);

                    It will work fine. If you do this:

                    MyMethod(null);

                    Or

                    MyMethod(new Button());

                    Then it will fail.
