Input string was not in a correct format

[Noam Afuta]

Im trying to convert an string"0" to an int, yet keeps giving me the error "Input string was not in a correct format."

int befpoints = Convert.ToInt32(label7.Text);
int curpoints = befpoints + points;
label7.Text = Convert.ToString(curpoints);
label6.Text = '+' + pt;

any ideas?

You can use the int.Parse method.

int befpoints = int.Parse(label7.Text)

Another method is to use the try parse method. This method results in a true or false that states if it was correctly converted. go to .NET Perls - int.TryParse

You can also use the below method instead of the convert method.

label7.Text = curpoints.ToString()
