Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me. I am trying to get the value of a parameter from a stored procedure. I keep getting the error "Input string was not in a correct format.". It looks like it is in the correct format to me. Any suggestions? Here's the code that gets the error..... customer.id=convert.toint32(rd[0].tostring) where rd is a sql dataReader read from the stored procedure

I know in c# you can do something like this

// If there is selected items do this
if (lisbox.items.selected != null)
{
// Code for your program here if the listbox is selected
}
// If there are no items selected then display this
else
{
// Error display code here
}

You could maybe set up an error checker that way?

I might be of some help....i'm still learning this feel free to correct me :D.

customer.id <= is this customer id an int?

=convert.toint32(rd[0].tostring) <= your trying to convert an array of customer ids to an int?

I'm not sure elaborate on this subject. If your seeing this message it's because you have a string value somewhere, you might need more converts or something.
