You are converting a QuizID to a type Integer and it is rejecting it, Cint("QuizID"). What datatype is QuizID, is it a String?

Since you are going to concatentate the QuizID with the URL string shouldn't you cast it from an integer to a string?

ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# "start.aspx?testid=" & Cstr("QuizID") %>'

Hope this helps.
