I have a field named 'UserID' in my OLE database with the type 'Autonumber'. But when I try to cast it to a variable of type 'String' I get an an InvalidCastException - Specified cast is not value.

I have a C# library that internal clients configure with VB.Net Their scripts are throwing an InvalidCastException where they really shouldn't.
So the code is something like this (massively simplified):
//C#3
public class Foo {
public static implicit operator Foo ( Bar input )
[Code].....
Strange - it looks like the VB.net compiler can find the cast operator but it's lost at runtime. Surely the VB and C# IL will be pretty similar here?
The VB.net code is dynamically compiled - the compile happens the first time a user logs into the app. it's being compiled as VB.Net against .Net 3.5, and I'm not using any COM interop.
Could anyone assist me in solving my problem ? My code was written in VB (VS 2003.)I got this error: System.InvalidCastException: Cast from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid. in my code.Here is the code line where I am getting the error: LeadCampusID = CInt(.Item("mkCampusID"))I fixed the error by making the changes in the code as :
If Not IsDBNull(.Item("mkCampusID")) Then
LeadCampusID = CInt(.Item("mkCampusID"))
Else

I read somewhere that older VB .net (pre VB .NET 2005?) couldn't use overloaded operators in a C# class. Is it true for overloaded cast operators?Either way do you guys think it's a disadvantage for a C# class library not to include them and arithmetic methods as actual methods for other languages, like:
ToDouble
ToFloat
FromDouble

Dim SecondName As String = txtNewCustSName.Text

EndIf
This returns "Conversion from string "" to type 'Long' is not valid." I was wondering what the error is and how it's possible to fix it? The other questions that I've looked at were mostly to do with variables assigned incorrect types, but I think that isn't the issue. It occurs when all of the variables are empty.
OK, this is going better, now im stuck in the mud again, i am trying to get a form to print,this works now, however i would like to enable a few frames with text boxes for a few seconds to allow the printer to print the text in black instead of gray. he error i am getting is this, as the timer disables:" Unable to cast object of type System.Windows.Forms.Timer' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem'.

I'm using a C# API wrapper library for connection to a program. It has worked very well for a long time, but now I have this error I can not get out of. The error occurs inside the library code (which I have not modified). It gives the following pop-up window:I believe I had this or similar type of error some times before (at least the first pop up was similar), and then I believe I just clicked "Build solution", or rebuild, and it would work. But this time not...

I am using Visual Studio 2005, Version 2.0. Coding a windows application with VB.NET.I am trying to use a textbox (txtLogCall) to display matched results in a datagrid. I have added a bindingsource and have the dataset and tableadapter.
I have set the databinding tag of the datagrid to the field that I want to use as a parameter. The textbox is for an Caller's Name, so I have set the datagrid tag to 'EmergencyCallerIdentification' that is in the table.

I have a Linq Group By query that works. Here's the query:
Dim query = From fb As Feedback In lst Where fb.Seller.login_name.ToLower = UserName.ToLower
Order By fb.transaction_id Descending, fb.creation Descending _

I don't like working with anonymous types so I'm trying to delare the result and am hitting an InvalidCastException.
Here's the type information:
Debug.Print(query.GetType.ToString)
Returns:

I am trying to catch the System.InvalidCastException error. If I put a number into the calculator the program runs ok. If the calculate button is pressed with nothing in the text boxes I get the casting error Conversion from string "" to type 'Decimal' is not valid. I understand why I am getting the error. I don't know what to do about it. I want the program to dump null data and go back to waiting for input from the user.

View 3 RepliesI've got a typed dataset. I bind the data with a binding source to a form with arround 200 textboxes, dataedits and so on. Everything works fine with one exception:In my database I have empty DateTimes (DBNull.Value). And when they get bound to a DateEdit-Control, I get the following exceptions:
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.StrongTypingException' occurred in myTestDLL.dll
I tried to change the NullValue-Property in the DataSet-Desinger to something else as 'Throw Exception', but it doesn't work for a DateTime. For other types like Integer or String it works fine.I dont know a nice solution (right now I fill the empty dates with some dummy date and make it invisible in the DateEdit-Control, but this is very uncool) and I hope to find some help here.
I get the correct numbers out of the variable(in this case 11) but i cannot compare it bcuz i get this error. both values are int, cannot seem to find the problem.
Dim id = CInt(Request.QueryString("id"))
Dim uk = From hj In dc.Orders _
Where hj.UserID = id _

I'm trying to Parse dates entered into a TextBox into a DateTime value but I keep getting an exception in the TryParseExact method. What I'm trying to do is: DateTime.TryParseExact(tbAddDate.Text.Trim, "yyMMdd", New CultureInfo("sv-SE"), DateTimeStyles.None, row.Date)
This throws an InvalidCastException with the message "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid." I realize what is happening is that it's trying to set row.Date to DBNull which is not a valid value for a DateTime. What I don't understand is why it's trying to do this, as the documentation states that it should be set to MinValue and not DBNull.
As a sidenote, I know that I can get around a lot of these problems by using a DateTimePicker but the customer feels that they are very clunky as it's not possible to enter the dates directly with the keyboard.
There is a class in this datalayer that subclasses System.Data.Datatable. So for example if I populated a System.Data.Dataset and then tried to put the first table of this dataset into this class like so:
Code:
Dim dt as new myDatable
dt = ds.Tables(0)

[URL]The answer to the above question was to use a series of javascript calls as URL's in order to fill in a web form and submit it. I have been trying to do this automatically inside a VB .NET program with no success.The original example I was given doesn't work, presumably because you are waiting on the same thread as that in which the WebBrowser control is working:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.google.com")
Do While WebBrowser1.IsBusy OrElse WebBrowser1.ReadyState <> WebBrowserReadyState.Complete
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
[code]....
The curious thing is that the check of ReadyState (or IsBusy, for that matter) in the wait loop will sometimes throw a InvalidCastException. Presumably calls to these are not thread safe? I have no idea. If I put the offending call inside a Try block, the wait loop just fails to work. In fact, it even seems the exception "persists" to screw everything up, because even stepping through the code with the try block Visual Studio freezes for a good 10 to 20 seconds (it does the same without the try block).
I am developing a fairly comprehensive Excel add-in, applying a lot of ops. Take a workbook, save under new name, apply actions (add names, change formulae, etc). Generally it works fine, but from time to time .Net throws an InvalidCastException on virtually any of my CTypes. When I acknowledge the error and run the code again (without quitting Excel) on the exact same Excel workbook, no error occurs. The InvalidCastException occurs maybe in 40% of all tries, otherwise the add-in succeeds.

I'm trying to use Subsonic 3.0.0.3 with an existing web site created in vb.net. I've added a reference to SubSonic.Core.dll and added the ActiveRecord tt/ttinclude files. I also added a contextmenu entry to run the t4 templates using instructions I found here.Whenever I try to run any of the tt files, I receive the following exception. Does this have something to do with me using a web site as opposed to a web application?
