Cannot apply multiple (implicit) conversions in assignment

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi all,

Volker is correct, but please don't hesitate to ask questions here first
:-).  This list is for helping guide people to the right
list (thanks Volker!) but can also act as a bit of a filter for questions
that are FAQ in nature or need a little rounding out.








Cheers,
Martijn
