What do I do wrong here?
string tmp = @"
if (UseImageFiles) {
vCalHeader += ""<td><img onmousedown='' src= '{0}cal_fastreverse.gif' width='13px' height='9' onmouseover='changeBorder(this, 0)' onmouseout='changeBorder(this, 1)' style='border:1px solid white'></td>\n""; //Year scroller (decrease 1 year)
calHeight += 22;
}";
string x = "xter";
tmp = string.Format(tmp, x);
I get
Input string was not in correct format
when trying to change {0}
. I am doing this in C# and WinForms.
Format Exception was unhandled
Input string was not in correct format
Troubleshoot tips I get:
Make sure your method arguments are in right format. When converting a string to datetime, parse the string to take out the date before putting each variable into the DateTime object.
string.Format()
considers each '{' or '}' to be part of a placeholder (like '{0}' you already use). You need to escape each literal occurrence by doubling it.
So in your case do:
string tmp = @"
if (UseImageFiles) {{
...
}}";
