I have a master page and a content page to that master.

When I try to work with them I get an inconsistent error of casting ability
and it happens irregularly, which means sometimes it can work and sometimes
not, without making any changes to the code.

Is this a bug concern? Or do you have any advice for this issue?

Here is the error message I get:

Server Error in '/LocalIms' Application.

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic asp newsgroup. ASP.Net bears
very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be lucky enough to
find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your question, you
can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a group where
those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

I've not started using that technology yet so I cannot attempt an answer
here.
