I am attempting to multiply the values of dropDown to the user's inputted value in daysRenting. I am getting a format error with respect to the data types being used. dropDown uses doubles and daysRenting is an int. My problem lies in this line of code... How can I rewrite this to convert my data into the forms needed? The result will be a double. dropDown values are a daily charge for a selected car.
protected void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int i = Convert.ToInt32(dropDown.SelectedItem.Value.ToString()) * Convert.ToInt32(daysRenting.Text.ToString());
totalCost.Text = i.ToString();
}
Here's the full code for reference.
