In a VS 2008 ASP.net 3.5 aspx.vb file, Response.Write(DDL.SelectedItem) worked very well.But "Dim filenameDDL As String = DDL.SelectedItem.Text" did not. Then I tried the following codes and found the problem -- Conversion from type 'ListItem' to type 'String' is not valid.

What is the quickest way to convert a string value of a URL to type URI? VB.NET please..
View 2 Repliesfast way in VB to go from a string to a generic type T constrained to a valuetype (Of T as Structure), when I know that T will always be some number type?This is too slow for my taste:
Return DirectCast(Convert.ChangeType(myStr, GetType(T)), T)
But it seems to be the only sane method of getting from a String --> T. I've tried using Reflector to see how Convert.ChangeType works, and while I can convert from the String to a given number type via a hacked-up version of that code, I have no idea how to jam that type back into T so it can be returned.
I'll add that part of the speed penalty I'm seeing (in a timing loop) is because the return value is getting assigned to a Nullable(Of T) value. If I strongly-type my class for a specific number type (i.e., UInt16), then I can vastly increase the performance, but then the class would need to be duplicated for each numeric type that I use.
It'd almost be nice if there was converter to/from T while working on it in a generic method/class. Maybe there is and I'm oblivious to its existence?
Conclusion:Testing the three provided implementations below and my original DirectCast/ChangeType form, @peenut's approach of using a prepared delegate to fetch the Parse method from a basic type works. No error checking is done, however, so implementors need to remember to only use this with valuetypes that have a Parse method available. Or extend the below to do error checking.
All runs were done on a 32bit system running Windows Server 2003 R2 with 4GB of RAM. Each "run" is 1,000,000 executions (ops) of the method to be tested, timed with StopWatch and reported back in milliseconds.
Original DirectCast(Convert.ChangeType(myStr, GetType(T)), T):
1000000 ops: 597ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 472ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 458ms

Comparatively, peenut's approach is almost 200ms faster when executed 1,000,000 times in a tight loop, so his approach wins out.

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

i am working in windows appl vb.net 08. And i am working in Access DataBase.I have one Table Called "Person" . In this "Person" Table one Column Name Called "OtherName". In this Column binded in one of the Combobox in a Form.But the Problem is "OtherName" Column having the Null Values.Before i bind this Column to Combobox i want to convert this NULL Values to String. Why i need the values in STRING means , In my code i using this Combobox as a filter in SQL Query.If i didn`t change the Null Value to STRING , The Combobox SelectedText or SelectedValue is Showing Nothing. So i am not able to get the Record.
Whn i write a Sql Query to Combobox and apply filter in WHERE statement like Combobox.Selectedtext or Combobox.SelectedValue In "Selected Change Committed Event" then i should get the record in the Output right but unfortunatly i am not getting the Record. The Record Count in DebugPrint showing 0.
