C# help needed

[Jon Paal]

how do I set the cast in C# ?

Compiler Error Message: CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing
a cast?)

Source Error:

Line 6: string t = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Profile.GetProperty Value("SiteTheme");

Not sure what the particular object is that you are referencing (I am
rather new myself), but try this:

string t =
(string)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Profile.Get PropertyValue("SiteTheme");

How about this?
string t =
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Profile.GetProperty Value("SiteTheme").ToString();

Let me explain the compiler error:

Compiler Error Message: CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing
indeed 'System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Profile.GetPropert yValue("SiteTheme")'
return an object.

How do you know it's a string? Are you sure it's not a bug?

if it's a bug: correct it ;-)

If you know for sure it's a string, let it be known to the compiler by making a cast, just like in C
OPEN_PARENTHESIS TYPE CLOSE_PARENTHESIS

as in:
(string)

object o = "a string";
string s = (string) o;

[Kevin Spencer]

You convert instead of casting. Try Convert.ToString()
