Populating a Listbox in c#
I am new to .net. I am trying to populate a listbox with the following code. what am I doing wrong? The compiler complaigns about the last line saying "cannot convert a non deligate type"
private void popList()
{
var context = new AWDEntities();
{
var query = from c in context.COMMITTEES
where c.COMMITTEE_ID == 5
select new { c.COMMITTEE_HOUSE, c.COMMITTEE_MEMBERSHIP, c.COMMITTEE_HEARING_AGENDA
var cust = query.First();
ListBox1.Text = cust.ToString;
};
}
}
}
private void popList()
{
var context = new AWDEntities();
{
var query = from c in context.COMMITTEES
where c.COMMITTEE_ID == 5
select new { c.COMMITTEE_HOUSE, c.COMMITTEE_MEMBERSHIP, c.COMMITTEE_HEARING_AGENDA
var cust = query.First();
ListBox1.Text = cust.ToString;
};
}
}
}

here is a basic way to populate a listbox
List<string> MyList = new List<string>();
MyList.Add("HELLO");
MyList.Add("WORLD");
List<string> MyList = new List<string>();
MyList.Add("HELLO");
MyList.Add("WORLD");
try this
private void popList()
{
var context = new AWDEntities();
{
var query = from c in context.COMMITTEES
where c.COMMITTEE_ID == 5
select new { c.COMMITTEE_HOUSE, c.COMMITTEE_MEMBERSHIP, c.COMMITTEE_HEARING_AGENDA
var cust = query.First();
ListBox1.Add(cust.ToString
}
}
private void popList()
{
var context = new AWDEntities();
{
var query = from c in context.COMMITTEES
where c.COMMITTEE_ID == 5
select new { c.COMMITTEE_HOUSE, c.COMMITTEE_MEMBERSHIP, c.COMMITTEE_HEARING_AGENDA
var cust = query.First();
ListBox1.Add(cust.ToString
}
}
I guess based on the error message you received, the problem is a few missing chars as below:
ListBox1.Text = cust.ToString(); // mind the trailing parentheses
as ToString is treated as a method reference otherwise rather than an actual method call.
ListBox1.Text = cust.ToString(); // mind the trailing parentheses
as ToString is treated as a method reference otherwise rather than an actual method call.
