I am writing a tic-tac-toe game. The part of the code that I am having trouble with is randomly populating an "O" if the computer cannot win or block.
The code I have is;
Dim square As Integer = 6
Dim middle As Object = "grid" & square
Dim grid As Label
[Code]....
Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.Label'
Currently using VS2008, VB.NET, SQL.
I have a FormView from a Data Source that is getting some fields that are stored as Decimals in the SQL Database.
I am grabbing the field from the FormView as such:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label)
I need to take this value, and convert it to an Integer, then send it along to an API. I have the API Calls done, tested and working, but I'm getting an error as when it is getting this value, the API is returning "Must be an Integer" error.
What I have tried so far:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label)
Dim AvgTicket1 As Integer
AvgTicket1 = Double.Parse(AvgTicket.Text)
Do something with AvgTicket1
I have also attempted to Round the Value, then convert it and call it - no luck.
Checking the value of AvgTicket1 (Writing it out to a Label or Response.Write) shows "100", where the database value was 100.00. But the API is still getting 100.00, apparently. Any other conversion method that I've attempted states errors that the Label cannot be converted to Integer.
What are some methods I can successfully convert this value to an integer from a label?
Code as follows:
[Code]...
it's telling me that I cannot show the DateTimePicker1 value in the label because the types are different. How do I tell the label to convert the date format for display? I've tried .string() but it didn't like that.
I have a variable which I called ElapsedTime. I press a button and it displays the time in seconds since clicking the button, into a label . I did it with HTML
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
LblElapsedTime1.Text = ElapsedTime
ElapsedTime = ElapsedTime + 1
End Sub
Private Sub BtnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnStart.Click
Timer2.Enabled = True
End Sub
This updates every second a bit like a simple stop watch. Great so far, because I do need the elapsed time (in seconds) for later use in my app. However, whilst elapsed time is being displayed in this label on the screen I want it to be shown in HH:MM:SS format. How can I convert it into a new variable " ElapsedTime2 " so that I can show it in the desired format yet still retain my original " ElapsedTime " variable for later.

I am using the .NET Framework 2.0, and I am trying to code a client bot for a game called Minecraft, Originally written in Java, there have been quite a few people who have made custom multi-player servers for this game, Primarily in C#, or in a language that i've never heard of, such as Pascal.I'm looking right now at sending this:
Packet ID: 0x00 (0) As Byte
Protocol Version: 0x07(7) As byte
Username: "umby25" As String
[code].....
"Byte cannot be converted to 1-Dimensional array of byte"
I don't understand why this whole thing would work in all of the other programming languages, but not Visual basic.I have tried converting the string using the same method that one of the open source C# servers used, and it failed, telling me that the dictionary does not contain that or something.

I was trying to convert from Double to String and everything working fine. But when I tried some bigger number with fractions in it. I got the number but rounded. I tried something like that:
Dim dd As Double = 1235212435.3453636
Dim str As String = dd
MsgBox(str)
But what I got is 1235212435.34536 instead of 1235212435.3453636
I've got a richtextbox but want to check the keypresses before they come in the textbox. So I thought of using the KeyPress event from the form, checking that key and than writing it to the richtextbox with the Text property.But the KeyChar is a char while the Text property expects a string, and when I convert the KeyChar to a string(ToString) it gives a error.Does anyone know how to fix this or has anyone another idea for checking the presses before writing them?
