convert string values to itextsharp.text.rectangle in vb.net

hema latha

I have tried

"Dim rectangle As iTextSharp.text.Rectangle = New iTextSharp.text.Rectangle("226.5;168;324.731;80.57574")"

I got this error

'Public Sub New(rect As iTextSharp.text.Rectangle)': Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'iTextSharp.text.Rectangle'. Please suggests if any ideas.

The Rectagle method never takes double value.
var fValue = (float)Convert.ToDouble(value.ToString());
Pass this fValue to your rectangle method.
Thanks.

Yes I have used your code Dim rect as itextsharp.text.rectangle = CSng(Convert.ToDouble(value.ToString)).But i got this error Value of type 'Single' can not be converted to 'itextsharp.text.rectangle'.And my itextsharp version is 5.5.10.0.How to resolve this problem.?please suggests if any ideas.

HI.
I already told that, you can't assign string value into Rectangle method.
Thanks.

Hi.
Rectangle method in itextsharp never take string values.
In your situation, you need to convert those values into float.
You need to do like this,
var fValue = (float)Convert.ToDouble("226.5");
and these float values you need to pass into Rectangle method as a parameter.
As per Itextsharp Version Number 5.5.9.0 ,Rectangle method allows these many number of overloaded methods,
public Rectangle(Rectangle rect);
public Rectangle(RectangleJ rect);
public Rectangle(float urx, float ury);
public Rectangle(float urx, float ury, int rotation);
public Rectangle(float llx, float lly, float urx, float ury);
public Rectangle(float llx, float lly, float urx, float ury, int rotation);
If you are using any other version number then you need to check accordingly.
If it helps mark as answer.
Thanks.
