[RESOLVED] Data type error.

Hi I am getting this error

Quote:

Input string was not in correct format

when trying to assign a value from a datarow column, any ideas anyone?

VB Code:

Dim CarriageType As Integer = CInt(dr.Item("CarriageType"))

is carriagetype infact a numeric value? make sure you aren't reading a null field or something

or try

Dim CarriageType As Integer = CInt(dr.Item("CarriageType").ToString)

:blush: Yes I was getting the wrong field, Carriage type is a description I meant to get CarriageTypeID :blush:
