What exactly does this statement mean?

[gecko]

Hi everyone,

I just started out with VB.NET as well as ASP.NET. I'm going through some codes and don't really understand the following:

Dim abc As String

abc = objCommand.Exec uteNonQuery().T oString()

--- I think I know what 'objCommand.Exe cuteNonQuery' is for. And I know what 'ToString' means. But put them together and I get confused.

I know that eventually "something" is cast into type String and assigned to abc. So what is this "something" ?

Thanks in advance for your help...

ExecuteNonQuery returns the number of rows affected as an integer. For that value to be stored into the String variable abc, it needs to be converted from int to a string using the ToString method.

I see! Thanks a lot!
