Error converting string to int

[James1981]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert the value of a selected item in a dropdown list from a string to an integer. All the values are numbers but i get errors when trying to convert them into int data types.

I have tried the following code:

(int)listCountry.SelectedItem.Value

the compiler raises an error saying that it cannot convert string to int.

I have also tried:

Convert.ToInt32(listCountry.Selecteditem.Value)

but this returns an unhandled error message at runtime.

I need the value in an Int type... Any ideas?

Cheers, James.

Convert.ToInt32 is the method you need... what error do you refer to when you say:

an unhandled error message at runtime

What exactly does it tell you?
