In Chapter 13 Page 470 Step 14

I do not receive any build errors but when I run the file in the browser I receive this error. Can someone please explain?

Operator '==' incompatible with operand types 'Int32' and 'Object'

Hi there,

Can you post the code for the page that throws the error?

I don't see any data in the DropDownList, nor a data source. Try hooking it up to a data source and add an item with a value of 0 (zero) and a text like "Select an item".

Cheers,

Imar,
I do have a dropdown list that is hooked up to a datasource which was in step 2 on page 467. I have included 2 screenshots in a seperate email I sent to you through a yahoo account, one which shows the datasource in design view. If I try to re-do step 2 without taking the page down and starting over it shows I must use datasource 2 since datasource 1 is already being used.

Where did you send the message to?

BTW, not sure what you mean with this:

You can reuse data source controls for different data-bound controls.

Imar,

I've already connected my drop down list to a data source from the exercise on page 467 but when I run the code it brings up that == error. Sorry you didn't get my whole message. You asked where I sent my reply to. I got a response from you through my yahoo email account so I replied to it through yahoo as a reply because I sent you some screenshots including the design view that shows the dropdown list and the datasource and I'm not seeing where there is an attachment button or paperclip in this wrox reply section.

I haven't sent you a response; the Wrox P2P forum probably did, so you probably just replied to the forum administrator....
