Newbie,

It is probably better that you explain why. Mostly are there some
misunderstandin gs about strings and longs by newbies as they are in Net.

What's the format of each string and how do you expect it to convert
to a Long?

Re: convert string array to long array

I have a combobox that displays Asset names. Asset List is a long array of
AssetIds. Every Asetname in the combobox is associated with AssetID.

I need to pass an array of AssetIDs as long from here(every assetname has
assetid) into the following line:

doc.LoadXml(EDP .ExportPosition s(g_SessionID, cmbStartDateand Time.Text,
cmbEndDateandTi me.Text, cmbAsset.Select edText).ToStrin g) as per the
following function

Public Function ExportPositions (ByVal SessionID As String, ByVal
StartDateTime As Date, ByVal EndDateTime As Date,
<System.Xml.Ser ialization.XmlA rrayItemAttribu te("AssetID",
IsNullable:=fal se)> ByVal AssetList() As Long) As Position()


When, I do cmbAsset.Select ed Text, it is stored as string array and the
function expects it to be array of Long.

Everything is fine, except the cmbAsset.Select edText. I get the error"can't
cast string to an array of long"
