Covert int to string

[GoranW]

I too need to convert an int to a string. I will also need to convert the other way, i.e. a string to an int. After looking in the forum I have tried this:

void RecipeNumber_ValueChange(System.Object sender, Neo.ApplicationFramework.Interfaces.Events.ValueChangedEventArgs e)
{

Globals.Tags.RecipeName.Value = Convert.ToString(Globals.Tags.RecipeNumber.Value);
}

I get a compilation error saying it is an ambguity between Convert.ToString(uint) and Convert.ToString(System.DateTime)

If I try this:
Globals.Tags.RecipeName.Value = System.Convert.ToString(5);

a "5" is displayed neatly on the Ix.

What am I doing wrong?

Try

To String:

Globals.Tags.RecipeName.Value = Globals.Tags.RecipeNumber.Value.ToString();

To Int

Globals.Tags.MyIntTag.Value = Convert.ToInt32("123");

Hi Edmund,
Tanks for the quick reply.
I managed to get it to work by using private variables, see screen dump.
But I will try your proposal too.

Thanks

Great Göran

The iX tag class also includes convert/cast functions (if possible), see image below
