I have a class method which takes integer as parameter...whe n i call the
method as shown below i get this error message: Specified cast is not valid
<td><%# bs.getPriority( (int)DataBinder .Eval(Container .DataItem,
"Priority") )%></td>
When i print the DataItem "Priority" it shows an integer value, but for some
reason the method does not like value.. if i call this method like ->
bs.getPriortiy( 3); it works fine.
In the database i have a field called "Priority" int type...
The method works fine when i call it in DataItemBound method..
any idea? 5 2037
Hi,
Try using
int.Parse(DataB inder.Eval(Cont ainer.DataItem, "Priority") )
DataBinder.Eval returns a string value type. (int) is used to
implicitly cast values to integers. Strings must be explicitly cast
using the Parse method.
Hope this helps.

Tod thank you so much :) it worked..
still confused why one of them works not the other as shown below:
<TD><%# bs.getCampusNam e((int)DataBind er.Eval(Contain er.DataItem,
"CampusID") )%></TD>
<td><%# bs.getCampusNam e((int.Parse(Da taBinder.Eval(C ontainer.DataIt em,
"Priority")))%> </td>
both CampusID and Priority is same type of value..
Many Thanks again.

Sorry that did not solve the problem... :( i am getting this error message
now:
The best overloaded method match for 'int.Parse(stri ng)' has some invalid
arguments

Acutally, DataBinder.Eval returns an object unless you pass a third
parameter, a format specifier, i.e.
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Priority", "{0:d}")
Otherwise you get an object reference back, in which case you could
use Convert.ToInt32

Hi,
Scott is correct. Sorry for the mis-information.
I tried to reproduce your error message. I created a function in the
code behind like so:
protected string GetRemainderInE scrow(decimal approvedAmount, object
paidAmount)
I then called the method from the aspx page using the following code :
<%# GetRemainderInE scrow( (decimal)DataBi nder.Eval(Conta iner,
"DataItem.Appro vedAmount"), DataBinder.Eval (Container, "DataItem.Paid" )
) %>
The code worked as it should. If you have control over the
'bs.getPriority ' method, try allowing an object to be passed instead of
an integer value type. If that doesn't work. If that still does not
work, copy and paste the exact error message and Stack Trace.

Hi,
It's pretty unhelpful to post "I have a huge piece of code that

my problem and I really am at my wit's end.
The piece of code in question always crashes in an STL operation
such as a vector.push_back, but the location of the crash changes as I
change how various parts are handled in memory, i.e., make some things
dynamically allocated instead of new'd. I know...

Hello!
Recently I had a strange problem with Visual C# 2005 beta 1.
When I ran(F5 key) a program, <#if DEBUG> statement was not working.
It ran as RELEASE mode.
So I had to manually define DEBUG to make #if DEBUG work.
When I first started the project, this problem didn't exist.
The problem started to exist in the middle of doing the project.
Today, I decided to figure out what went wrong.

Good day, fellows!
I have a strange problem – at my site there is a flash strip, that

It works fine (grabs data from the remote server and presents it),
however in IE7 and its clones I encounter a strange problem where I
can hear clicking sound non-stop (like the page is being reloaded non-

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
