Format problem...

[Tim::..]

Can someone please tell me why I might be getting the following error!

Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Source Error:
Line 76: Sub DGPages_Update(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridCommandEventArgs)
Line 77: 'Read in the values of the updated row
Line 78: Dim pageID As Integer = e.Item.Cells(1).Text ' Error line
Line 79: Dim modificationDate As Double = CType(e.Item.Cells(2).Controls(0), TextBox).Text
Line 80: Dim description As String = CType(e.Item.Cells(3).Controls(0), TextBox).Text

...:: CODE

Hi,

e.Item.Cells(3).Text returns your a string. So, to assign it to a Integer,
use Int32.Parse() or set Option Strict Off. In either case, make sure, you
get a valid value (that can be converted as integer) for
e.Item.Cells(3).Text

HTH.
