converting string??

[kathy78]

Hello everyone,

I am using VS2005 (C#) and have the following code behind for my login page. When I try to compile it, I get the following error on the line in bold below. Seems like I need to convert "UserName" and "Password" to strings. Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks,
Kathy

You are passing a string. What does LoginAdapter.GetDataBy look like?

Thanks Inanna for your reply. I am very new to .net so let's see if I can try to explain this to you. I created a new dataset via the TableAdapter Query Configuration Wizard and the query for the GetDataBy method is below:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM tblPeople
WHERE (UserName = @UserName) AND (Password = @Password)

Please let me know if this is what you're looking for...

Thanks,
Kathy

It's hard to say. Harder still 'cause I don't work with TableAdapters. I do my stuff by hand... :( Can you paste the GetDataBy method?

Argument'1': cannot convert from 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' to 'string'

The error message should give you the solution.
Either:
Argument 1 expects a 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' object and is receiving a string or vice-versa

What data types are the arguments to your function GetDataBy?

If they are strings then your code should work.

If they are TextBox objects then try this:
LoginAdapter.GetDataBy(UserName, Password);
