Assigning Values

[JJ]

Hi All,

I am trying to assign an int value to a textbox. Of course C# doesn't
like this so is common to use Convert.toInt32 textboxs with numbers then use
Convert.toString assign the values back into the Textboxs? Like the
following:

tbEstLMPOnPeak.Text = Convert.ToString(Convert.ToInt32(tbTotNetOnPeak) -
1224);

Thanks,

JJ

yes thats correct but you are doing the same thing that I did but in long
form.

I guess I am use to vb where it didn't matter what you put into a textbox
the conversion was autonatically done for you behind the scenes.

Why not c#, I guess is my question?

Thanks,

JJ

The easiest thing to do is use local variables... IMHO

int Calc1 = int.parse(txtBox1.Text);
int Calc2 = int.parse(txtBox2.Text);
txtBox3.Text = (Calc1 + Calc2).ToString();

HTH,

Because C# is strongly typed - and a good job too, IMO.

Ok so it is common practice to see coding as I had shown in these replys?

Thanks,

Yes, but if you have a lot of integer text boxes I would consider deriving
your own class from TextBox with an int property (Value, for example) that
you can get/set the int value. Then just do the conversion inside that class
rather than everywhere in the client.

Or search for someone else's existing integer text box class, e.g.
