Getting Error Msg - Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'

Question

I am checking for values in a textbox to trigger a conditional statement, but am getting error messages.

if (txtAge.Text = \"49\") || (txtAge.Text = \"59\")
         


        

Answer 1

Need to use == instead of =. Former is used for comparison while the later is for assignment.

A better way is to use Equals method

if (txtAge.Text.Equals("49") || txtAge.Text.Equals("59"))
{ 
}
