How can i use the color dialogue to return the color selected as a string? So if i was to select red i would like the return to be "Red" and so on so fourth.Another thing i would like to ask is if it is possible to return the color selected as a string in hex color code form (like what is used in HTML for example #FFFFFF, #000000 and so on so fourth).I have a feeling though that it can only be returned as R G B integers but maybe there is a way of converting these to hex color codes?

Here's the code...
Dim str2 As Double = CDbl(searchSTR)

I wrote the code below which calculates the length of a line on the form and save record. An error occurs when the programme tries to save the record. It gives me "Cannot perform '=' operation on System.Int32 and System.String" error. I checked the data type of "ID"(int), "Microscope"(Varchar), "Magnification"(int) and "Calibration"(Decimal), and they are fine so far as I know.

Here is the code I am working with, everything works fine up until last line then i get evaluate exception unhandled "Cannot perform '=' operation on System.Int32 and System.String."

The thing i have done this before ,count that is. I know you cant average strings and some other function but i have been able to count.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to extend primitive types such as System.String and System.Int32 (IE: integer) in .Net 4 and if so how?
To be more specific, I am aware of the concept of partial classes but this doesnt seem to be the answer. Also I find that System.String is not inheritable and Int32 is a structure.
Lastly I am interested in knowing both a VB.Net and C# answer to the above question.

the following code is supposed to replace the system color that's used for window backgrounds. You'd change it by P/Invoking the SetSysColor() API function. i am using the following code that was suggested to me but unfortunately when i click the button nothing happens!

The exception is in the lines where I 'Dim betterScores' above. The idea is that when the player wins a game their score is placed and held in the betterScore variable. It is then written to an xml file later on.

This should be an easy one. Basically I've been getting an error saying that it can't convert System.string to System.string[]. I just want to know some details about system.string[]. I can't find any on Google because it strips out symbols.
