Cannot implicitly convert type string to int asp.net mvc

Question

So i am trying to have a ternary operator inside the viewmodel. NOTE: RegionId is int. This is the code

 var model = (from p in _context.ProductGun
              where p.ProductId == productId
              select new GunViewModel)
              {
                  RegionId = p.RegionId == 1 ? "DEV" : "TEST"; //error
              }

I've tried: RegionId = p.RegionId.ToString() == "1" ....; RegionId = p.RegionId == Convert.ToInt32(1); And vice versa solutions. But nothing is correct. Sorry for the typo. I type this using mobile

If RegionId is an int, why do you think its ok to assign it "DEV"? "DEV" is a string, not an int — maccettura

should it be from p in _context.ProductGun where p.ProductId == productId select new GunViewModel { RegionId = p.RegionId == 1 ? "DEV" : "TEST"; //error } the ) is in the wrong place? — urlreader

The error is telling you that RegionId is an Int and your trying to assign "DEV" to it anytime the region id is a 1. thats not going to work. try putting a zero in it and checking for that anywhere you are looking for "DEV"

RegionId = p.RegionId == 1 ? 0 : p.RegionId;

This is the answer:

I changed the datatype of RegionId in Viewmodel to String. Since it is int to int, It cannot implicitly convert type.

RegionId = p.RegionId == 1 ? "DEV" : "TEST"; Where: RegionId = string p.RegionId = int
