Yeah, I found it very hard to keep a straight face while answering OP. I don't do C#, but I figured any language has to have a descendant of the grey-beard strtol(). Google had the answer before I'd finished typing the question.

You're right. There's a .ToString() missing. I.e. :
string sayii = textBox1.Text.Substring(0, textBox1.Text.Length).ToString();
|
|
|
|
|
Probably a ToUpper as well, to protect against lower-case binary digits.

Dropped my jaw when I read that message.
Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos.
It's because English is my primary language, not my first language.
My first languages are C# and Java.
VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language.
Indonesian came as my third language.
My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done!

No Excel Application, days before I notice
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80040154

Duuude, 80040154!
Don't tell me you've never 80040154ed something during you're time!
There are careers out there that are totally build up on 80040154!
That seems to be a PEBKAC problem, Sir. Why don't you go and fetch a coffee while I handle the operation?
|
|
|
|
|
"80040154ed" what is that mean?
|
|
|
|
|
It's the verb form of 80040154, simple past. like talk - talked.
Simple, isn't it? And also quite obvious, as you've already stated when you first posted that error message here.

What I mean is. . .
What do you mean with this "There are careers out there that are totally build up on 80040154!"
|
|
|
|
|
At a guess: Security & Registration. Try google!

I mean _absolutely_ nothing, just like the error messages you posted meant nothing.
I was just mocking about that "obvious" number; you shouldn't take that seriously.
But _if_ I had intended a deeper meaning with the sentence you just quoted, it would be this:
There are some people out there who are writing code just like this "obvious error message". When it comes down to maintenance, no one else could handle that kind of bullsh... horse dung. That's active job security, right there!  So, whenever you stumble upon some messages like these, rest assured: There's a dude with a water tight career. He's roared up to a position where his employer is taking crap like that from him, because he couldn't let him go.
But that's just a interpretation of what I wrote. Hell, if I know what I was thinking all the time, I would at least be a miner god. Or totally crazy. Better not find out.

"not even" 
|
|
|
|
|
So odd.
Somebody in an online forum wrote: INTJs never really joke. They make a point. The joke is just a gift wrapper.
|
|
|
|
|
 that's actually what the error is referring to... 
...but the user has no idea, they just get a lot of errors saying "not even"... it's "not even" their fault, its when one of our drivers malfunctions
|
|
|
|
|
I can't forget "Catastrophic failure." from Delphi 5. How somebody can support this? rsrsrs...
|
|
|
|
|
Error message syntax error
or
Error message add 1 for odd error and not even
|
|
|
|
|
Or that usual "Fatal Error" ... Should I look over my shoulder? 
|
|
|
|
|
Prime example of a bad error message.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe I'm just showing my age and where I went to High School (So. California) - but my first thought was that the message would be followed by "as if" and "gnarly" prompts.

 that's what came to mind when I first saw this error message...
|
|
|
|
|
Not even if you pay me?
I'm not a programmer but I play one at the office
