New to this and need some help

Question

Hello, I am learning c# and was given a copy of some video tutorials and they are using 2005, the video does not get any errors but when I have exactly what is on the screen I get errors:

cannot implicitly convert type int into string

cannot implicitly convert type string into int

 

What is wrong?

...

private int weight = 1;

 

....

 

        public string Weight
        {
            get { return weight; }
            set { weight = value; }
        }

Answer 1

private int weight;

public int Weight

{

     get { return weight;}

     set { weight = value;}

}

Answer 2

I still get the same error

 

Here is the complete code (so far) for the .cs for reference

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Hyperion
{
    class Item
    {
        private string title;
        private string pickupText;
        private int weight = 1;
        //public int Weight;  <--- I added this in as the previous post sudgested.

        #region properties

        public string Title
        {
            get { return title; }
            set { title = value; }
        }

        public string PickupText
        {
            get { return pickupText; }
            set { pickupText = value; }
        }

        public string Weight
        {
            get { return weight; }
            set { weight = value; }
        }

        #endregion
    }
}

Answer 3

I guess it would help if I mentioned that I was using 2010

Answer 4

Hi Doltek,
  The issue is you have a private varaible of type int, and you are having a propery of type string.
since you are directly assign and return the values, type mismatch will occur.

If you want to store string value in Weight property, declare weight as string, not as int. Because the property gets or sets string values.

eg:

        private string weight;

        public string Weight
        {
            get { return weight; }
            set { weight = value; }
        }

else

        private int weight;

        public int Weight
        {
            get { return weight; }
            set { weight = value; }
        }

if you are using .NET 3.5 or greater as target framework, you no need to declare the private variable. The compiler itself will do that.

so you can simply write

public string Weight { get; set; }

               OR

public int Weight { get; set; }
