Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label'
I am passing my values from a gridview to a different page row-wise.The table for the gridview in the database is as follows:
Create table Task
(
TaskId int Identity(1,1),
Title varchar(100),
Body varchar(500),
Reward decimal(4,2),
TimeAllotted int,
PosterName varchar(100)
)
the code -behind for the details page is as below:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.Page.PreviousPage != null)
{
int rowIndex = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["RowIndex"]);
GridView GridView1 = (GridView)this.Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("GridView1");
GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[rowIndex];
lblTaskId.Text = row.Cells[0].Text;
lblTitle.Text = row.Cells[1].Text;
lblBody.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;
lblReward.Text = row.Cells[3].Text;
lblTimeAllotted = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName = row.Cells[5].Text;
}
}
It displays everything as desired but when I click on 'view task' in a particular row of the gridview, I get an exception Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label'. The exception occurs on the last two lines i.e
lblTimeAllotted = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName = row.Cells[5].Text;
How can I correct this?

Try this:
lblTimeAllotted.text = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName.text = row.Cells[5].Text;
You cant set a label to a text. You need to set the text property of the label

You cannot set a string to a Label. You have to set the value to property Text of both labels:
lblTimeAllotted.Text = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName.Text = row.Cells[5].Text;

In your code, you have:
lblTaskId.Text = row.Cells[0].Text;
lblTitle.Text = row.Cells[1].Text;
lblBody.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;
lblReward.Text = row.Cells[3].Text;
Followed by:
lblTimeAllotted = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName = row.Cells[5].Text;
I presume that what you actually mean is:
lblTimeAllotted.Text = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName.Text = row.Cells[5].Text;
The reason you are seeing the exception is that .NET is trying to change your label objects to the string value of the cells, which is obviously nonsensical. Looks like a simple typo :)
