I am getting an invalid cast exception - cast from string to type
double is not valid.
Dim curName As String
Dim prevName As String = ""
curName = CStr(rows.Item( i).Item(colSchN ame)) ' extract name from
database row
If (curName.Compar eTo(prevName <> 0)) Then <--- exception occurs on
this line
I do a cast on line 3 but that is not the one getting an exception. Any
help appreciated...c harlie

CS,
Any reason that you do not just
\\\
If curName <> "" then
///
You make me curious

THis is the first time through. If these are not equal then I save it
in a list , assing curname to prevname and go to the next. I'm trying
to eliminate any duplicates during the processing
CS,
What is than the difference with this sentence in my idea it is in this case
exactly the same
If (curName.Compar eTo(prevName)) <> 0 Then
(With corrected error, in your code are you testing agains an evaluation)
It is good to set Option Strict On in your program, this will than be showed
direct when you are making your code.
Cor
You've got your not equal to zero check in the wrong place.
The line should read:
If (curName.Compar eTo(prevName) <> 0) Then
That should fix your cast exception error.
Hope this helps,

Hi CS,
the closing braket is at the wrong place, so you compare prevName to 0
If (curName.Compar eTo(prevName) <> 0)

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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
