Argument of type 'X' is not assignable to parameter of type 'X'

Good day. I'm new to Type Script, using VSCode.

Getting following errors:

1. error TS2322: Type '() => string' is not assignable to type 'string'.

2. error TS2322: Type '() => number' is not assignable to type 'number'.

The Code:

DTO.ts

interface DTO {

    getId(): number;
    getValue(): string;
}
export = DTO;

LinkedObject.ts

class LinkedObject {

    public value: string = "Not Set";
    public id: number = 0;

    constructor(value?: string, id?: number) {
        this.value = value;
        this.id = id;
    }
}
export = LinkedObject;

I am trying to instantiate LinkedObject class using above mentioned interface methods:

TravelClientFormPopulator.ts

class TravelClientFormPopulator {

    public populateComboBoxUsingDTOs(dataObjects: Array<DTO>, comboBoxID: string): void {

        // Get the combo box
        var selectElement = <HTMLSelectElement> document.getElementById(comboBoxID);
        // Reset the options 
        selectElement.options.length = 0;

        var linkedObjectsToAdd: LinkedObject[] = new Array<LinkedObject>();

        var defaultLinkedObject: LinkedObject = new LinkedObject("Not Selected", 0);

        linkedObjectsToAdd.push(defaultLinkedObject);

        for (var i = 0; i < dataObjects.length; i++) {
            var value: string = dataObjects[i].getValue; // Error here
            var id: number = dataObjects[i].getId; // And here
            var linkedObject: LinkedObject = new LinkedObject(value, id);
        }
    }
}

Any help will be highly appreciated.

You miss parenthesis:

var value: string = dataObjects[i].getValue(); 
var id: number = dataObjects[i].getId();

For what it worth, if anyone has this problem only in VSCode, just restart VSCode and it should fix it. Sometimes, Intellisense seems to mess up with imports or types.

Related to Typescript: Argument of type 'RegExpMatchArray' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'

Also adding other Scenarios where you may see these Errors

1. First Check you compiler version, Download latest Typescript compiler to support ES6 syntaxes

2. typescript still produces output even with typing errors this doesn't actually block development,

When you see these errors Check for Syntaxes in initialization or when Calling these methods or variables,
Check whether the parameters of the functions are of wrong data Type,you initialized as 'string' and assigning a 'boolean' or 'number'

For Example

1.

 private errors: string;
    //somewhere in code you assign a boolean value to (string)'errors'
    this.errors=true
    or 
    this.error=5

2.

 private values: Array<number>;    
    this.values.push(value);  //Argument of type 'X' is not assignable to parameter of type 'X'

The Error message here is because the Square brackets for Array Initialization is missing, It works even without it, but VS Code red alerts.

private values: Array<number> = [];    
this.values.push(value);

Note:
Remember that Javascript typecasts according to the value assigned, So typescript notifies them but the code executes even with these errors highlighted in VS Code

Ex:

 var a=2;
 typeof(a) // "number"
 var a='Ignatius';
 typeof(a) // "string"

I'm doing angular 2 and typescript and I didn't realize I had a space in my arrow notation

I had .map(key = > instead of .map(key =>

Definitely keep your eyes open for stupid syntax errors
