Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

1 New Member
I know this question has been addressed, however none of the suggested fixes are resolving the issue.

This one causes the error (initial value of txtPoint.Text is 35):
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. Private Sub nudPoints_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles nudPoints.ValueChanged
  3.        Dim points As Integer = CInt(txtPoint.Text) + nudPoints.Value + nudMiscPoints.Value
  4.       txtPointsTotal.Text = points
  5.   End Sub
  6.  
  7.  
  8. This one works fine (initial value of txtAppraise.Text is 0):
  9.  
  10. Private Sub nudMiscAppraise_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles nudMiscAppraise.ValueChanged
  11.     Dim total As Integer = CInt(txtAppraise.Text) + nudAppraise.Value + nudMiscAppraise.Value
  12.     txtAppraiseTotal.Text = total
  13.   End Sub
  14.  
Neither have any trailing spaces, special characters, or letters. I have tried scrapping the problematic Sub and rebuilding it using different variables and it still generates the error. My limited training has got me at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use Integer.Parse() instead of the old VB methods

Better yet, try using the Integer.TryPars e() method.

CsharpChico, what is your code supposed to be showing us?

Right now, if you try to run the code you will get a warning (maybe an error if your Visual Studio's settings are high enough) because you are trying to assign an integer to a Text property (which expects a string).

I'm using C# to create an ASP .NET website backed by a MySQL database. One of the things I do often on the site is populate a DataList by binding it to a DataSet pulled from the database. However, I'm running into a bit of a problem with a specific field type in the database. It seems that fields of type TEXT (a kind of binary way of storing large amounts of text) generate the error "Unknown Target Conversion Type" when I try to bind...

Hi, let's assume you want to nicely print the content of a list except for one (or some) individual item. You could do it like this: t = print("text: %s\nvalues: %i %i %i" % (t, t, t, t)) If there was a conversion type which simply ignores the corresponding list item

Hi, I'm passing a JSON-encoded string to json_decode() and am expecting its output to be an object type, but am getting a string type instead. How can I return an object? In the docs, the following returns an object: $json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}'; var_dump(json_decode($json));
