How to trap "Input String is not in Correct format" Exceptions while Databinding Gridview?

I am getting this exception while binding data to Gridview. I have a control
parameter that accepts a integer value from a TextBox. If i provide a
invalid value, i get that exception. But can't handle it anywhere. I tried
the ObjectDataSourc e's Selecting method handler, but failed.

How do i cath those exceptions befor they rise?

And Can you please provide me a link that explains the "Event Mechanism" in
details, so that i gain acurate knowledge about how, and where i should
catch exceptions.

Thnx and Best regards.

the error is thrown during the databind:

try
{
grid.DataBind()
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// do something with error
}

if you wnat the control to handle a bad parameter value and not throw an
error, then create a new control based on the existing control, and catch the
error in the property set.

Convert.Int32 fails for "0" but works fine for all other numbers. This does not work on one machine when "0" it works fine on other machines Convert.ToInt32(“0”); gives exception {"Input string was not in a correct format."} If I specify base 10 this works on all machines Convert.ToInt32(“0”,10); So I have 3 related questions.

Hi, When a user types a non numeric-value in a numeric column in a DataGridView, and he tries to leave the cell, he gets this "Input string was not in a correct format."-exception. Is there a (nice) way to get rid of this exception? And just put a "0" in the place? Or somehow trigger this single exception (does exceptions have a unique type-number?) and do some appropriate actions?

One user of my application is experiencing an exception "input string not in correct format". But it makes no sense where it is occurring. It is occurring when a string from a textbox ("172") is being convert to an Int16 (using Convert.ToInt16). How can that be? There are other text boxes that are used in the identical fashion and they don't generate the exception. All there are many other machines running my application that don't...

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