Cast incorrect

[tshad]

I have a field that I read from my database that is a bit field field into a
textbox.

The Trace on the variable (MyInfoCreated) shows it as "False" - as you can
see from the error.

I tried it with:

if not MyinfoCreated then

as well as what is shown here

if (MyInfoCreated.Text <> 1) then

The first says it Cast from "False" to Long is invalid and the second says
the Cast from "False to Double is invalid.

If I do:

If MyInfoCreated.Text then

This works fine.

The error I get is:

********************************************************************

You've been writing too much asp or vb6 code.


Try this:

if (MyInfoCreated.Text.Length > 0) then

if ( Convert.ToBoolean (MyInfoCreated.Text ) = Convert.ToBoolean (
)) then

end if

Even that isn't really good code.

You have 3 things.
TextBox
TextBox.Text (string)
1 (number)

You need to convert things to booleans to try and compare them that way.

A TextBox is not a TextBox.Text (string) nor is it a number 1.
