Conversion From Type 'String' To Type 'String' Is Not Valid

Dec 21, 2009

I'm in the process of porting an old excel addin that was writen in VBA to VB .NET. The Excel addin interacts with a number of external com objects. The code sorta looks like this:[code...]

What I'm trying to do is read the string from the COM object and get it in durr for use later in my program.

That second line results in the exception posted above. If I try casting with CStr/CType I get the same exception.

The visual studio watch window reports the type of hurr.getString as a "System.__ComObject" whereas the VBA watch window reports the type as "Variant/Object/String".

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.TypeName(hurr.getString) says the type is "String".

Error: Microsoft.VisualBasic: Conversion From Type 'DataRowView' To Type 'String' Is Not Valid

May 25, 2011

I now have SQL Parameters set up and I'm using them to save/delete/add my data. This all works well, except when it's trying to save a combobox to the datatable it appears with the error above.Majority of my comboboxes have datasources, and the valuemembers of these are the actual list items, not the ID's of the list items.I'm not sure why this error could be happening, I'm fairly sure I've connected everything to the binding source correctly; I've checked it a few times.Does anybody know what the cause of this could be? I've looked around a bit and I haven't found much

Error : Conversion From Type 'DataGridViewTextBoxCell' To Type 'String' Is Not Valid

May 2, 2010

I am getting the error "Conversion from type 'DataGridViewTextBoxCell' to type 'String' is not valid." When trying to display a cell from DGV in a listbox.I have my variable for the cell reference as follows:

Dim a As Object
a = DataGridView1(4,1)

To insert it in the listbox as follows:

lstLetter.Items.Add(String.Format(a))

I tried:

lstLetter.Items.Add(a)

This will not actually display the entry inside the referenced cell, it shows this in my listbox instead:

DataGridView TextBoxCell { ColumnIndex=4, RowIndex=1 }

how I need to convert this to display.

I've been getting this error when pulling data from a recordset. It is coming from a null entry and as a newbie to VB2008 I'm not sure how to get around this.

here is my code lblShipping.Text = reader("CARRIERCODE")

the error:Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid. Basically what i'm attempting to accomplish is to see if there is anything in that field. If so put it into the text box if not leave it blank.

I am importing an Excel spreadsheet, turning it into a dataset and inserting the results into SQL Server (only 100 rows).

I am having an issue with one of the date columns in Excel, which can have a value or not. The "F" column is the one that may be blank and this is the error I get: Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.

How can I add a check to the Dim F As Date = CDate(row(5)) to handle a null?

Conversion From String To Type Integer Is Not Valid

Oct 20, 2011

I have the below code in my app... Nothing is declared as a integer so I dont understand or see where the problem could be... It is saying:

Conversion from string "9838 Co Rd 47" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

The address is flowing through the entire function as a string the only place I think it could be getting changed somehow is in a function call... Below is the function that throws the exception. Followed by the function that returns the address.[code]...
