Hi I have health monitoring turned on, and i have the following error i'm trying to understand: Exception: Exception information: Exception type: System.InvalidCastException Exception message: Specified cast is not valid. Thread information: Thread ID: 5 Thread account name: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE Is impersonating: False Stack trace: at _Default.Repeater1_ItemDataBound(Object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Repeater.CreateControlHierarchy(Boolean useDataSource) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Repeater.OnDataBinding(EventArgs e) at _Default.up1_Load() at _Default.Timer1_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Timer.OnTick(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) I'm just trying to figure out exactly where the problem is happening and what it is - is it happening in the Repeater1_ItemDataBound sub routine, or in the Timer1_Tick sub routine? Is the last thing that happened before the error occured at the top or bottom of the trace? any help much appreciated thanks
