Converting Texbox.Text to int 32

[djkno3]

I have a dll I made and have a set property to accept an int. I would like to fill this property by using the textbox class in a form. I call the Convert.ToInt32 like this property = Convert.ToInt32(TextBox.Text); now I get a stack overflow in the dll at the public int property { set {property = value;} //This throws the exeption } Am I calling everything correctly? Or am I missing somthing?

It looks like the value entered in the TextBox is too big for an Int32. MDSN: The Int32 value type represents signed integers with values ranging from negative 2,147,483,648 through positive 2,147,483,647. Pyt Pyt.

public int MyPropertyName
{
set{ myMemberInt = value; }
}

Thanks that was the problem. To get the value do I use the same variable eg return myMemberInt? It works like this but is it the correct way?

I guess I should have said that the value was less then the max for an int 32 (eg It was 32) sorry:(

To create the read/write property you want, you will want to create a get: public int MyPropertyName { set{ myMemberInt = value; } get{ return myMemberInt; } } RabidK
