“Input string was not in a correct format.”

Question

I am working on a project in which I have a form through which I can edit a question available in a list view. Whenever I select a row from the list view and click on the \'

Answer 1

It looks like some space include in the text. Use

lvTwoOrMoreOptions.SelectedItems[0].Text.ToString().Trim()

and convert to int32.

hope this code will solve you

From comments

if your ListView is in report mode (i.e. it looks like a grid) then you will need the SubItems property. lvTwoOrMoreOptions.SelectedItems gets you each items in the list view - SubItems gets you the columns. So lvTwoOrMoreOptions.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[0] is the first column value,

Answer 2

whenever i try to compile the code it says "{"Input string was not in a correct format."}"

This error won't come on compiling.

Now the error comese because you are trying to parse an invalid string to integer. To do it in a safe manner, you should do it like this

int questionID;
if(int.TryParse(vTwoOrMoreOptions.SelectedItems[0].Text.ToString(),out questionID))
{
//success code
}
else
{
 //failure code
}

Answer 3

It looks that whatever that text is containing some characters which cannot be converted to integer like space, letters, special characters etc. Check what is coming through dropdown as below

lvTwoOrMoreOptions.SelectedItems[0].Text.ToString();

and see if that is the case.

Answer 4

Please change your code like below.

  int QuestionID;

  bool IsIntValue = Int32.TryParse("YOUR-VARIABLE", out QuestionID);

  if (IsIntValue)
  {
      // YOUR CODE HERE  
  }

Hope i will be help.

Answer 5

You might be trying to access a control inside a control, maybe a GridView or DetailsView.

Try using something like this:

empsalary = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBox)DetailsView1.Rows[1].Cells[1].Controls[0]).Text);
