Converting int? to string

Question

Hey I have a variable id that is assigned to an int? in my constructor. However later on I require a string to be displayed in a grid..... How can i convert from int? to string ? The Convert.ToString( id ); - doesnt work. Any ideas....all other forums so far have shown me this solution. Thanks in advance. N Daen G.

int? id = 0; string id3 = id.Value.ToString(); Or string id3 = Convert.ToString(id.Value);

Is your int a primitive or object int? Object int is Integer. where primitive int is just a int. I'm sure you know that already. And i'm positive that you can just simply do: Convert.ToString(yournumber); so i reckon 1 line would do as i've just tried it out.

All i have found which will do me rightly is to first convert the int? to an int - then to a string E.g. int? id = 0; int id2 = (int)id; string id3 = id2.ToString(); Cheers anyway and if there is a better solution please let me know. N Dean G.
