Question

Error : Cannot convert type 'string' to 'net.webservicex.www.Currency' .

error comes from:

net.webservicex.www.CurrencyConvertor conver = new net.webservicex.www.CurrencyConvertor();

double d = conver.ConversionRate((Currency)ddfr.SelectedValue,(Currency)ddto.SelectedValue);

ddfr and ddto are dropdownlist.

try this. CurrencyConvertor conver = new CurrencyConvertor (); Currency From = ( Currency ) Enum .Parse( typeof ( Currency ) ddfr.SelectedValue.ToString() true ); Currency To = ( Currency ) Enum .Parse( typeof ( Currency ) ddto.SelectedValue.ToString() true ); double d = conver.ConversionRate(From To);

Judging by an example I found on the Internet you'll have to do something like this (extend the switch statements as necessary): net.webservicex.www.Currency obj = new net.webservicex.www.Currency(); switch(ddfr.SelectedValue.ToString()) { case SGD: obj = net.webservicex.www.Currency.SGD; break; case USD: obj = net.webservicex.www.Currency.USD; break; case AUD: obj = net.webservicex.www.Currency.AUD; break; case EUR: obj = net.webservicex.www.Currency.EUR; break; case INR: obj = net.webservicex.www.Currency.INR; break; } net.webservicex.www.Currency obj2 = new net.webservicex.www.Currency(); switch(ddto.SelectedValue.ToString()) { case SGD: obj2 = net.webservicex.www.Currency.SGD; break; case USD: obj2 = net.webservicex.www.Currency.USD; break; case AUD: obj2 = net.webservicex.www.Currency.AUD; break; case EUR: obj2 = net.webservicex.www.Currency.EUR; break; case INR: obj2 = net.webservicex.www.Currency.INR; break; } net.webservicex.www.CurrencyConvertor conver = new net.webservicex.www.CurrencyConvertor(); double d = conver.ConversionRate(obj obj2);
