Using a GridView, I get a "Specified cast is not valid" error when binding
the Visible propery of a hyperlink control to a DataTable text field. The
error goes away if I replace the data binding statement with "true" or
"false". This code causes the error:
<asp:HyperLin k ID="HyperLink1 "
runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<% #
Eval("c2Hyperli nk1Link") %>'
Target="_blank"
Text='<%#
Eval("c2Hyperli nk1Text") %>'
Visible='<%#
Eval("c2Hyperli nk1Visible") %>' ></asp:HyperLink>
This code runs without error:
<asp:HyperLin k ID="HyperLink1 "
runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<% #
Eval("c2Hyperli nk1Link") %>'
Target="_blank"
Text='<%#
Eval("c2Hyperli nk1Text") %>'
Visible="true" >'
></asp:HyperLink>
I do not understand this, because in both cases the Visible property
receives the same text value, "true". Any suggestions or ideas will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

It is seeing "true" (string) not true (boolean), or visa versa. You will
have to cast out the value as the correct type. Easiest way is to alter the
SQL Statement that creates the value and cast there, as you will not have to
change your binding at all.

What if your data column has value of Null?
Make sure you are getting True/False value out of database.
Try convert value to Boolean explicitly
Visible='<%#
Ctype(Eval("c2H yperlink1Visibl e"), Boolean) %>' ></asp:HyperLink>

The data comes from a DataTable that is defined by an XSD file. I see no way
of defining the data field as Boolean. It looks like all of the fields are
text.

I am trying to list the types of coverpages available in winfax 10. I
have the imports at the top of the page.
Every time I run this I get a "Specified Cast is not valid" error. I
guess this makes sense since the .count item is a short, but I have
dimed x as short. Any ideas. please :roll:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
