'Convert' is not a member of 'Boolean'

[Brian]

I used the designer in VS.NET 2003 to create a dataset. Within that
dataset, there is an element "Tags", with a primary key and
relationship:

<xs:element name="Tags">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="TagName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="TagDesc" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="System" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="FieldType" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="FieldLength" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="0"
/>
<xs:element name="Decimal" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<xs:key name="pkTags" msdatarimaryKey="true">
<xs:selector xpath=".//mstns:Tags" />
<xs:field xpath="mstns:TagName" />
</xs:key>

<xs:keyref name="TagsLabelsTags" refer="pkTags"
msdataeleteRule="Cascade">
<xs:selector xpath=".//mstns:LabelsTags" />
<xs:field xpath="mstns:TagName" />
</xs:keyref>

Nothing special, right?

When I attempt to build the project I get a series of compile errors
in the code behind:

'Convert' is not a member of 'Boolean'.

Public Sub SetTagDescNull()
Me(Me.tableTags.TagDescColumn) = System.Convert.DBNull <--- Here
End Sub

There is one error for each of the non-key fields, all in the
Set_Field_Null() subroutines.

I'm lost. Any ideas?

Hi Brian,

I would really avoid using System and Decimal as column names.

Hi Miha,

I hadn't even thought about that. After I changed those column names it worked.

Thanks for the help.
