I am trying to build a class. I get several errors. The first of which is option strict on disallows implicit conversions from integer to string. Here is my code if someone can help me. Thanks
client.vb
CODE
Public Class client
Private info As String
Private firstName As String
Private lastName As String
Private account As String
Private balance As String
Sub New(ByVal firstName As String, ByVal lastName As String, ByVal account As String, ByVal balance As String)
End Sub
Public Property stats() As String
Get
Return info
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
info = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
and
AccountInformation.vb file
