Hi TC.AutomateSourceToTargetStripMenuItem_Click(); is a method of TC form. and these all methods are void based methods almost 10 or more which will unable to convert into string. So we have to convert or modifying getcompared method only. there is no otherway to change all. So please help me in this specific case.

Hi TC.AutomateSourceToTargetStripMenuItem_Click(); is a event .

Satya Narayana · Answer

public void AutomateSourceToTargetStripMenuItem_Click() { SQL_Light_Exce_lOperations.DataTableDisplay obj = new DataTableDisplay(); sourcemethod(); targetmethod(); } every method is void based methods here. so we could not change all methods as a other methods from void to string or else. So please help me regarding on this.

Hi AutomateSourceToTargetStripMenuItem_Click is click event of element? If yes then event is always Void (does not return the value). and you are trying to convert it in to string that way compilation error prompt.. So you can set result1 value in click event itself because it is static variable. hope this will help you.
