How to convert from type to type

Question

Hi all ,,,

I'm facing troubles from converting from one type to another , I have errors in this codes:

Dim objStreamReader As New StreamReader("\program files\missed_calls\Settings.xml")
                Dim p As New MySettingsClass()
                Dim x As New XmlSerializer(p.GetType)
                p = x.Deserialize(objStreamReader)
'Implicint conversion from Object to Missed_Calls.MySettingsClass
                objStreamReader.Close()


MsgBox("There is no selected item to remove !", MsgBoxStyle.Information + MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Select Item First")

'Implicint conversion from integer to Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle


Another question :
to convert from Decimal to Integer , Do I use Cint , Ctypt(Decimal,Integer)



Many thanks in advance.

Hi ashraf,

Like you said, both Cint and Ctype  are OK, both work. Here is my test result:

Dim i As Double = 2.0

        Dim j As Integer = CInt(i)

        Dim n As Integer = CType(i, Integer)

 

        Dim m As Integer = CInt(MsgBoxStyle.Critical)

Both work fine in my local.

 

If you still have question, please let me know.
