String = (Convert(String) - 1).ToString

Question

Well, I need to subtract the number from a string, and in the end she should continue being a string ...

I try:

PStruct.character[Index, PStruct.player[Index].SelectedChar].Y = 
  (Convert.ToInt32(PStruct.character[Index, PStruct.player[Index].SelectedChar].Y) - 1)
 .ToString;

Character.Y is a string.

The error: Cannot convert method group "ToString" to non-delegate type "string".

Anyone have tips or a solution?

You want ToString(), not ToString. – NWard Apr 27 '14 at 00:36 — NWard, Apr 27 '14 at 00:36

Use parenthesis to invoke/call a method:

expr.ToString()

Without parenthesis it (ToString) is treated as a "method group", which is useful in some cases - but not here.

As written, you are trying to treat a function ToString as a type string.

As the comment mentioned, you probably meant to write ToString().
