Trying to convert int to string?

I'm trying to end the loop by reducing the int of the entry variable by 1 by calling parse. But, I keep getting a compiler error saying that I can't convert an int to a string.

Can you post your code so that we can take a look at what's going on?

Never mind, I actually figured out the problem. Thanks, though.

The simplest way to accomplish this would be:

string myString = myNumber.ToString();

You don't use Parse to convert an integer to a string, since an integer can always be turned into a string. You can convert an integer to a string like so:

string test = Convert.ToString(1);
