Hi
you can not convert them like we convert an interger to a string, but if you want to convert a label, so first persist all the values realated to the label(like text, size, position etc) in some temp variables and then use these values for the textbox.
hope it helps...

Of course it's not working, because it's not possible to cast a TextBox to a Label. They both are Controls, but neither of them is lower in the chain of inheritance of the other so you can't cast it up. You wouldn't expect this to work, would you?
Pear myPear = (Pear) myBanana;
However, this would work:
(Fruit) myFruit = (Fruit) myBanana;
because a banana ultimatly inherits from fruit.
All you can do is follow the suggestions made by others. Change the behavior of the TextBox so it looks like a Label, or create a new Label and copy the Text property of the TextBox over to the Label.
Alternatively, demand that your interviewers ask relevant or logical questions at interviews. But maybe this was a nice trick question, trying to find out what you knew about the subject....
Cheers,

In design view, right click the text box or label
In design view, you can right-click a text box or a label and choose to convert it. I trust this is the answer that the interviewer was looking for.
Cheers

The interviewer was asking a standard Access question
The original question that was asked in the interview pertained to microsoft access, not microsoft .net nor ASP.net. This is a normal interviewing question intended to find out if you have expertise in Access form design.
The response they were looking for was "In Microsoft Access, in the form design view, you right click the text box and from the drop down menu choose convert to label, or vice versa".
This is a dot net forum, and the responders are helpfully and intelligently trying to figure out a way to convert text boxes to labels. I respect your helpful attitude, but please stop torturing yourselves.
Moderator, would you close this thread please.

What makes you think this was an Access question? The question was posted in a general .NET forum, wasn't it?

The reason I think this is an Access question is this:
Asking someone how to convert between text boxes and labels is a normal interview question...if the interview is about Microsoft Access.
The question makes no sense in ASP.net; realistically, why wouldn't you just delete the text box and create a new label? Unless the interviewer was clueless, which is entirely possible, the interview had to have been about Access.
Ashu from India, help me out here. What exactly were you interviewing for?
Was it Microsoft Access developer?
No disrespect intended to anyone. You are all nice people, and smart too.
