    I'm just merely trying to take a querystring value, make sure its a string, then associate a string value to treecat depending on whats in the QueryString ; can't understand why it's not recognizing this as a string, getting Cannot implicitly convert type 'char' to 'string' on the qtree = '*' values

    <script runat="server" language="C#">
    string qcheck()
    {

    string qtree;
    string treecat;

    qtree = Request.QueryString["c"].ToString();

    if (qtree = '1') {
    treecat = "Citrus";
    }
    else if (qtree = '2') {
    treecat = "Shade";
    }


    return treecat;

    }
    </script>

    ???

    Hi,

    There are two problems with your code:

    1. Use " instead of '
    2. Use double == instead of = 
    if (qtree == "1") {
treecat = "Citrus";
}
else if (qtree == "2") {
treecat = "Shade";
}
