What kind of type is rs[] ?
Perhaps you should use rs["number"].toString.subString(xy) if your object is convertible to String ...

You can substring a string, not an array.

rs["anyname"] is an object, not a string, so does not contain such a method. You need to convert the object's value to a String first.

Solution 1

The Substring function only works on strings - and (assuming rs is a RecordSet of some description) it will return objects. Try this:

C#

phone_string += " (" + rs["number"].ToString().Substring(0, 3) + ") " + rs["number"].ToString().SubString(3, 3) + "-";
