Kindly suggest how to solve this problem. See Following Coding : cmd = New OleDbCommand(M_StrAdd, StrConn) cmd.Parameters.Add("@Recno", OleDbType.Integer).Value = Convert.ToInt32(TxtRecno.Text) cmd.Parameters.Add("@Scode", OleDbType.VarChar).Value = txtSCode cmd.Parameters.Add("@Sname", OleDbType.VarChar).Value = TxtStudentName.Text cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() cmd.Dispose() Dear Sir,
Whem I am saving data into database with follwoing coding, I am getting error as like “Failed to convert parameter value from a TextBox to a String.”

Kindly suggest how to solve this problem.

See Following Coding :

cmd = New OleDbCommand(M_StrAdd, StrConn)
cmd.Parameters.Add(”@Recno”, OleDbType.Integer).Value = Convert.ToInt32(TxtRecno.Text)
cmd.Parameters.Add(”@Scode”, OleDbType.VarChar).Value = txtSCode
cmd.Parameters.Add(”@Sname”, OleDbType.VarChar).Value = TxtStudentName.Text
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmd.Dispose()

Of course, that isn't quite as simple as just using Val() but it might be more 'acceptable' in polite .NET company. I do strongly recommend that if you use Val that you have Option Strict turned on. You should do that anyway but since Val will force conversions of just about anything this is an extra safety step you should take. Thanks for your comment Ballamber

I ended up using Val for it's simplicity of gracefully stopping at the first non-numerical character. Was pretty useful when converting HTML width parameters to integers. E.g. "200px" easily converts to 200 while the other functions would fail. (I did not thoroughly tested it though.) Can any of the other functions be used to do the same without adding extra code?
