Object to Int Cast

Posted on by 87

Hi Experts,

I am writing a plugin. I am trying to assign the value retrieved after running the query to variable of type int. But I am getting an error message : System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OptionSetValue' to type 'System.IConvertible'.
at System.Convert.ToInt32(Object value) .

Below is my code:

int serviceProviderCountry = 0;

foreach (var v in serviceProDetails.Entities)
{
debugString += "\nSapId Found " +sapId;
serviceProviderCountry = Convert.ToInt32(v.Attributes["new_address1country"]);

Please suggest the correct syntax to for this conversion.

Thanks 

Amrita

    Hi Amrita,

    Above answer is correct. However, you can also try the following: 

    foreach(var v in serviceProDetails.Entities)
    {
    debugString += "\nSapId Found " +sapId;
    if(v.contains("new_address1country") && v["new_address1country"] != null)
    {
    serviceProviderCountry = ((OptionSetValue)v.Attributes["new_address1country"]).Value;
    }
    }
    

    Please mark this answer as verified, if it helped you.

    you will need to get first the v value

    OptionSetValue optAddressCountry = v.GetAttributeValue<OptionSetValue>("new_address1country");

    and after extract the int value

    if (optAddressCountry != null) {
        serviceProviderCountry = optAddressCountry.Value;
    }
