Convert int to list of string in c#

I have the following code where I convert an int to a string in a list but visual studio does not accept when I try to convert the int into string

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'int'

listOfUsers.Add(new User
{
   Id = myReader["Id"].ToString(),
   Name = myReader["Name"].ToString(),
   Coordinate = myReader["Coordinate"].ToString()
});

What am I missing?

Try this code.

listOfUsers.Add(new User
                    {
                       Id =int.Parse(myReader["Id"].ToString()),
                       Name = myReader["Name"].ToString(),
                       Coordinate = myReader["Coordinate"].ToString()
                    });

You code should be , assuming Id is int. 

listOfUsers.Add(new User
                    {
                       Id =Convert.ToInt32(myReader["Id"]),
                       Name = myReader["Name"].ToString(),
                       Coordinate = myReader["Coordinate"].ToString()
                    });

ID must of Int type so you need to covert data to appropriate type.

Here you need to convert value to int type. You can use Convert.ToInt32

Converts the specified string representation of a number to an equivalent 32-bit signed integer.

Example:

Id = Convert.ToInt32(myReader["Id"])

Note: Do remember to check myReader["Id"] is not DbValue.null
