How to convert a textbox.text to string?

[onechuck]

I have a couple of textboxes that I am trying to concatenate and I receive some error about that. Here's what I have.

string strSummary;

strSummary = txtFstName.Text + " " + txtLstName.Text;

The error message is:

Cannot convert from 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' to 'string'

Your help is appreciated.

Well, Textbox.Text does return a string. You can .ToString() anything to force a string conversion, but I wonder if you didn't name your textbox itself txtFstName.Text instead of just txtFstName?

That's my best guess just from that snippet. Maybe someone else has a guess.

You're right. That wasn't the problem. It's something else. I got it fixed now. Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly but it seems to be a method that I created.
