Hello Everybody
When i am compiling the code below then i am getting this error

[red]Input String is not in the correct format[/red]

what could be the problem there in the code below...

Code:
static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string Signal = "0"; // giving the string a netural value
            while (Signal != "X")
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Enter some Signal: ");
                Signal = Console.ReadLine();
                
                Console.WriteLine("Signal entered was: {0}\n", Signal);

                if (Signal == "A")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Fault Found - Aborting...");
                    break;
                }
                if (Signal == "0")
                {
                    // all is fine just continue working
                    Console.WriteLine("All is fine - Move On");
                    continue;
                }

                if (Signal != "A" || Signal != "0")
                {
                    // all problem...raise alarm
                    Console.WriteLine("{0)---------Invalid entry!\n", Signal);
                    continue;
                }
                
            }
        }

thanks

Console.WriteLine("{0)---------Invalid entry!\n", Signal);
should be...
Console.WriteLine("{0}---------Invalid entry!\n", Signal);

It's missing a }...

Sharing the best from my side...
