0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DateTime time = DateTime.Now.AddHours(10.30);
dt =DAL.Registration_Master.View(time).ToString();//error

//Error Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Data.DataTable'

//What is the solution for that?

Even when i convert it like

dt =Convert.ToDateTime(DAL.Registration_Master.View(time).ToString());

but still it gives me error..

what you want to do with this piece of code??

I don't get what your trying to do, i suppose that in the datatable you try to fill in a field with the current time.
What is this line? "DAL.Registration_Master.View(time)" ??

The error is pretty clear you can't cast datetime into a datatable object via string.

Solution 1

You are trying to assign String value to DataTable.

C#

dt =Convert.ToDateTime(DAL.Registration_Master.View(time).ToString());

You cannot directly assign string value to DataTable.

you can assign the values to data table after creating columns into it.
I guess, you may want code like this

C#

string dtt = DAL.Registration_Master.View(time).ToString();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataColumn dc = new DataColumn();
dc.ColumnName = "Date";
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dt.Rows.Add(dtt);
