Convert Generic list to data
I am getting an error when I try to use a data class to retrieve data that I store in a list
it says Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generi
This is message data
it says Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generi
Data.Message m = new Data.Message();
Data.MessageData md = m.GetEditThread(ID);
//List<Data.MessageData> md = new List<Data.MessageData>();
//List<Data.MessageData> md = m.GetEditThread(ID);
lblPostID.Text = md.id;
radtxtBody = md.Body;
radtxtSubject = md.Subject;
This is message data
public class MessageData
{
public MessageData()
{
}
public int id { get; set; }
public string Subject { get; set; }
public string Body { get; set;}
public int File_Id {get; set;}
public bool ForPublic {get;set;}
public bool ForPrivate {get;set;}
public bool ForKKOnly {get;set;}
public int UserID {get;set;}
public int PriorityID {get;set;}
}
class Message
{
public List<MessageData> GetEditThread(int ID)
{
List<MessageData> list = new List<MessageData>();
string sql;
sql = "Select id,Subject, Body,File_Id,ForPublic,ForKKOnly, ForPrivate,UserID,PriorityID FROM MsgPost Where id = '" + ID + "'";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(DBConnectionString.Get(Database.Task)))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
conn.Open();
SqlDataReaderHelper reader = new SqlDataReaderHelper(cmd.ExecuteReader());
if (reader.IsValid)
{
while (reader.Read())
{
list.Add(new MessageData()
{
ID = reader.GetInt("ID", 0),
Subject = reader.GetString("Subject", ""),
Body = reader.GetString("Body", ""),
File_Id = reader.GetInt("File_Id", 0),
ForPublic = reader.GetBool("ForPublic", false),
ForPrivate = reader.GetBool("ForPrivate", false),
ForKKOnly = reader.GetBool("ForKKOnly", false),
UserID = reader.GetInt("UserID", 0),
PriorityID = reader.GetInt("PriorityID", 0),
});
}
}
conn.Close();
}
return list;
}
}

try
List<Data.MessageData> md = new List<Data.MessageData>();
md.AddRange = m.GetEditThread(ID);
List<Data.MessageData> md = new List<Data.MessageData>(m.GetEditThread(ID));
A list contains none, one or many individual items.
It is like a shelf with numbers of books on it - you don't read the shelf, you take one book away and read that.
You take an item out of the list and process that item.

my mistake;
md.AddRange(m.GetEditThread(ID));
//or
List<Data.MessageData> md = new List<Data.MessageData>(m.GetEditThread(ID));
does not contain a definition for subject
Data.Message m = new Data.Message();
List<Data.MessageData> md = new List<Data.MessageData>(m.GetEditThread(ID));
lblPostID.Text = Convert.ToString(md.id);
radtxtBody.Text = md.Body;
radtxtSubject.Text = md.Subject;
?
What has that got to do with your original error when you attempted to cast a list of items to an individual item
What has that got to do with your original error when you attempted to cast a list of items to an individual item
you are using a List, you must use items, not the LIST in self
Data.Message m = new Data.Message();
List<Data.MessageData> md = new List<Data.MessageData>(m.GetEditThread(ID));
if (md.Count > 0)
{
lblPostID.Text = Convert.ToString(md[0].id);
radtxtBody.Text = md[0].Body;
radtxtSubject.Text = md[0].Subject;
}
that means the suggested solution didnt work - I was doing that all day long - and to be honest Andy I dont need analogies or a life lesson in coding or someone with the mentality that they are a guru - II come here for actual help - Crashman was kiind enough to offer - you are not

no you told me about a bookshelf

Worked perfect - now I realize its alot like a dataset - thank you

The second problem is different, because, one thing is how fill, and another is problem using the object in self. in this case, the items.
So, for fill list you can use:
Open in new window
then you have a List of Items, you must specify the item you need, for that, you must refer index, or in another words, the position in the listOpen in new window
etc.
