System.Convert does not contain a definition for "toString"

Question

I am trying to convert a value to a string, as far as I can tell, I have to use the method toString, of the class Convert, of the namespace System.

Here's my code:

Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'System.Convert' does not contain a definition for 'toString'

Source Error:


Line 101:                while (r.Read())
Line 102:                {
Line 103:                    listbox.Items.Add(new ListItem(Convert.toString(r["first_name"]), Convert.toString(r["first_name"])));
Line 104:                }

What am I doing wrong exactly? I'm new to C# (hence why, if you look at my profile you see like 6-7 questions, all related to C# lately!). It's really making me practice my OOP chops too!

Answer 1

C# is case sensitive try this

Convert.ToString()

Answer 2

Get rid of the

Convert.toString(r["first_name"])

and change it to

r["first_name"].ToString()

Edited to rid the world of this nasty little typo :)
