Hello

Am here translating my VB code to C# using online tool, have some error in translated C# code.

Below is the VB code

VB

If rs.Item("prev_test_scores") <> "" Then prev_scores.Text = Replace(rs.Item("prev_test_scores"), vbnewline, "<br>")
         prev_scores_box.Text = rs.Item("prev_test_scores")
         If rs.Item("prev_experience") <> "" Then prev_experience.Text = Replace(rs.Item("prev_experience"), vbnewline, "<br>") & "&nbsp;"
         prev_experience_box.Text = rs.Item("prev_experience")
         If rs.Item("bio_notes") <> "" Then bio_info.Text = Replace(rs.Item("bio_notes"), vbnewline, "<br>") & "&nbsp;"
         bio_info_box.Text = rs.Item("bio_notes")

Below is the translated C# code

XML

if (rs.Item("prev_test_scores") != "")
{
    prev_scores.Text = rs.Item("prev_test_scores").Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br>");
}
         prev_scores_box.Text = rs.Item("prev_test_scores");
         if (rs.Item("prev_experience") != "")
         {
             prev_experience.Text = rs.Item("prev_experience").Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br>") + "&nbsp;";
         }
         prev_experience_box.Text = rs.Item("prev_experience");
         if (rs.Item("bio_notes") != "")
         {
             bio_info.Text = rs.Item("bio_notes").Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br>") + "&nbsp;";
         }
         bio_info_box.Text = rs.Item("bio_notes");

error is:

prev_scores.Text = rs["prev_test_scores"].Replace(Environment.NewLine, "
");
'object' does not contain a definition for 'Replace'

Please suggest me to fix this error.

What do you mean by "VB" here?

VB.net am taking about

Thank you for the clarification, but this is bad VB.NET. It's better not to use anything VB-specific, use only .NET FCL. I'll update my answer with one more idea...

[EDIT — after inquirer's clarification]

You can use open-source ILSpy to automatically translate VB.NET to C# or visa versa. Create some VB.NET project with you code fragment, compile it into some assembly, open that assembly in ILSpy, decompile in C#.

Solution 2

try Using .toString() after rs["prev_test_scores"]

For e.g.
prev_scores.Text = rs.Item("prev_test_scores").ToString().Replace(Environment.NewLine, "
");
