ASP.Net SQLDataSource Filter - Input string was not in a correct format

Question

I have a ASP.Net web page with a grid view. I want to filter the grid view data based on the selection of a drop down list. I have this working fine on another page. The difference on the problem page is that the column I need to filter against is an int rather than a varchar. When I load the page I get the error message: Input string was not in a correct format.

I have pasted code for the dropdownlist and datasource below. This must be a common requirement so I guess I'm missing something obvious...? On attempting to find a resolution via Google, other have the same problem. A post on very similar lines can be found at http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t123088-problem-in-filterparameters.html , unfortunately Gavin's resolution didn't work for me.

Many thanks,

Rob.

Answer 1

You pass a value that is not Int32.

 <asp:ListItem Text="All" Value="%"></asp:ListItem>

Remove this line and its going to work. For show them all you need to find an other way...
