How do I troubleshoot an issue with the AJAX ReorderList DoReorder method?

Question

I have a ReorderList control on an ASP.NET 2.0 web page.  The ReorderList has an edit template and an insert template.  These templates include TextBox controls that users can enter values for.  Some of these textboxes only allow decimal values by use of a FilteredTextBoxExtender control, which is added dynamically via the OnDataBound() event, since the ID of the textbox controls changes as new items are added to the list.

Since doing this, I am getting an exception on every reorder.  The exception I get states I am trying to convert a System.Decimal value to System.Int32.  It seems to be thrown in the DoReorderInternal method of the ReorderList control, which I have inherited from to create my own custom ReorderList class.  However, the exception is thrown when calling a delegate method, and I cannot step into that method's source to see where the problem occurs.

Would anyone have any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this?

Would anyone be able to tell me where to download the source code for the ReorderList AJAX control, in C#?

Answer 1

Hi,


Have you tried converting your decimal inputs to integer values by allowing only integer input on the client side and then converting it to the decimal value that you need on the server?


eg. 1.01 = 101/100


so for the interface you may have

<span>.</span><input type=text value=""/>


Regards.

Answer 3

Yes, the problem is solved.  When I used ReorderList, I had a helper class which passed the values back to the database. his class stored the integer value as a string.

If you give me a high level description of your problem and the exception message and stacktrace, I can help you debug.
