cannot implicitly convert to bool

[Nick]

I am trying to find out if particular array element contains InputOutput
value.

private static int FillParameters( DbCommand command, SqlParameter[] p)
{
int x = 0; //int initalize to hold zero
for (int i = 0; i < p.Length; i++)
{
command.Paramet ers.Add(p[i]);
if (p[i].Direction = ParameterDirect ion.InputOutput ) <<<==
error here
x = i;
}
}

but I am getting errors as follows:

Error 39 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Data.Pa rameterDirectio n' to
'bool' C:\IList_WareHo use_Solution\Da taObjects\Db.cs 277 22 DataObjects

all I want to know is if p[i].Direction contains the value InputOutput but I
guess am comparing it wrong. Any suggestions?

Re: cannot implicitly convert to bool

You are mising the seconf =

this: if (p[i].Direction = ParameterDirect ion.InputOutput )
should be if (p[i].Direction == ParameterDirect ion.InputOutput )

you should use == instead of =

It's nice that the compiler will give you this error. In C++, it will
silently assign the value to p[i].Direction, then , it will be an run
time error instead of compiler - time error.
