Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'System.Data.DataTable'


private static void FromDictionary(SqlDataReader dr)
{
string eText = string.Empty;
DataTable dictionaryWords = new DataTable();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = dt.Load(dr);
if (dr != null)
{
dictionaryWords = dt; <<<<<<<<<< ERROR: Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'System.Data.DataTable'
}

You probably are returning the datatable. If thats the case, make your function declaration to return a datatable.

private static DataTable FromDictionary(SqlDataReader dr)

I would say this line 5 is actually stuff up:

dt = dt.Load(dr); // <-- as Load() function is type of void

All you need to do is just load with datareader and do no need to assign it back to your dt

e.g.

dt.load(dr);

I change the code to return DataTable but still same error:


private static DataTable FromDictionary(SqlDataReader dr)
{
DataTable dictionaryWords = new DataTable();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();

if (dr != null)
{
dictionaryWords = dt.Load(dr); <<<<<<<<<error
}


Its all about coding!

First of all, are you even returning a datatable from your method?
Also, refer to my previous replies about Load method.

you run into the conversion problem because Load return void. May be this help you.


DataTable dictionaryWords = new DataTable();DataTable dt = new DataTable();

dt.Load(dr);


if (dr != null)

{

dictionaryWords = dt;

}

return dt;
