FormatException - Input String was not in a correct format
posted

This problem was kicking my butt for quite a few hours (in between getting side-tracked by other problems at work).

The line of code which caused the problem was in the Grid.InitializeRow method and looked like this:

Dim MyDecimalValue as Decimal = e.row.cells("AnyDoubleField").Value

Earlier in the day I had changed all of my unbound columns from string to decimal.

One of my unbound fields was populated with a string value.  It had nothing to do with the line shown.

I changed the one field which was being populated with a string value to a string datatype and this problem went away.
