Hi, you're getting an error as you are trying to assign a string value to a "List Of String" Variable.

What type does DB.GetNames return?

Db.GetNames returns string but I want it to be converted to list(of string)

Ok, then you can add it's value to a List of String by name.Add(DB.GetNames(firstname))

I thought I'd been beaten to posting the same solution, but I notice you have specified the New keyword when declaring.

... my VB must be rusty(ier) that I thought :-)

Hi,

Here is a couple of ways.

1) - Declaring your list ... and then populating:

VB

Dim name As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
name.Add(test())

2) Populating when declaring:

VB

Dim name As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)({DB.GetNames(firstname)()})

... hope it helps.
