I am getting error like "Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.ILayer'" .

Please help me how to solve this error.

Please find my code below.

private void cmdon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

ILayer selectedlayer;

selectedlayer = getlayername(cmblayers.SelectedItem.ToString());

selectedlayer.Visible = false;

}

private void cmdoff_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

private string getlayername(string slayername)

{

IDocument doc = m_application.Document;

IMxDocument pmxdoc = doc as IMxDocument ;

IMap pmap = pmxdoc.FocusMap;

for (int i = 0; i < pmap.LayerCount; i++)

{

ILayer player = pmap.Layer;

if (player.Name == slayername)

return slayername;

}

return null;

}
