C# - LINQ Union With BIT Column Causing Specified Cast Is Not Valid Error?

Mar 8, 2011

I have a complicated join between a few tables but I have managed to replicate the error using linqpad and the small tables below. There are references between the COLNAME column and the YAXIS column and also between COLNAME and XAXIS that is not explicitly defined.

The error is "Specified cast is not valid", which originally I wasted time thinking the problem was converting the data returned to my object in VS 2010, but the error also happens in linqpad with no defined object. It seems insane that a bit column would cause this problem. If I change the column type to a VARCHAR it works fine. If I run the generated SQL from linqpad or sql profiler that also returns fine.

C# - "Specified Cast Is Not Valid" Error When Saving LINQ-To-SQL Entity?

Jan 26, 2011

App Details:

C#, ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server 2008 ( Same version & SP level), Linq-To-SQL ORM

I'm trying to diagnose an exception I'm receiving:

"Specified cast is not valid."
at System.Data.Linq.IdentityManager.StandardIdentityManager.SingleKeyManager2.TryCreateKeyFromValues(Object[] values, V& v)
at System.Data.Linq.IdentityManager.StandardIdentityManager.IdentityCache2.Find(Object[] keyValues)

at System.Data.Linq.DataContext.SubmitChanges()
at Repository.Save()
at etc....

The problem is that this is occurring only on our servers, not on our local development boxes. I've tracked it down to a single property we're modifying:

event.SalesForceId = "701Q0000000AOTIIA4";

If I comment out that line, everything works fine.

I've tried:

1 ) waxing all of the code on the server and redeploying. Same issue.
2 ) Pulling down a copy of the server DB and trying it locally. Works fine.
3 ) Trying another IIS environment we have setup on the same box. Same issue.
4 ) Physically comparing ( using AdeptSQL ) both local and remote schemas. No differences.
5 ) Verifying the datatypes of both columns ( local and remote ) are the same. Also, this column is a FK to another table. I verified that both are of the same data type, down to the collation.

The server is Windows Server 2008 and the local box is Windows 7 x64. Both have all important updates setup.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps since the database and web server are on different boxes that could be an issue? Otherwise, I'm completely stumped.

DataSource Controls :: LINQ VB.net Specified Cast Is Not Valid?

Jun 29, 2010

just needing a 2nd set of eyes looking at this to make sure the error isn't something else other than my LINQ code here. Here's the function class itself:

[Code]....

For some reason it's flagging the 2nd line in the GetJacketByPolicyID function saying the specified cast is not valid. So I'm guessing it's something I'm doing wrong. I'm sure the tblPolicy/tblPolicies class works right since I can create a new instance of a tblPolicy and set a few variables by hand and return it, so that's not it. I've also checked the datarow I'm fetching and there's no null values in the record, so that shouldn't be it either.

Specified Cast Is Not Valid Error On Development But Not On Test Server?

Sep 1, 2010

I have a .Net 2 solution with some asp classic pages.I get a specified cast is not valid error when I access the page on my local. Below is the vb function where I get the Error:

Public Function Retrieve(ByVal vntSeqId As String, ByRef vntPart As String, ByRef vntPartKey As String, ByRef vntEntDate As String _
, ByRef vntStatus As String, ByRef vntOrigGblId As String, ByRef vntOrigNetId As String, ByRef vntOrigName As String, ByRef vntOrigPhone As String _ [code]...

At first, I thought the problem is with the source code and we were thinking the source code we have is different with the ones deployed on test and prod servers. But when I tried to upload it on the test server, I don't get the specified cast is not valid error.

Unable To Cast A Partial Class Based On LINQ To SQL Object

Mar 28, 2011

I have a database table called Animals which I drag on to my Linq to SQL DBML file.

This creates me a class called Animal.

I then create a class to extend it, like so:

public partial class Animal{
//my extra code here
}

But what I also want to do is have a class like this:

public class Zebra : Animal{
//even more extra code here
}

The trouble is I get an InvalidCastException from my repository, when I do this:

Animal a = dataContext.Animals.Where(c=>c.id.Equals(id)).SingleOrDefault();
return (Zebra)a;

I've stripped back my classes to the point where they're completely empty in an attempt to work why it doesn't work. To no avail.

This casting process did used to work in the non-LINQ-2-SQL project that I'm switching to MVC/LINQ.

DataSource Controls :: Using Cast And Sum On VarChar Column?

Sep 29, 2010

I have a little problem developing a SQL Select Statement on a column that is formatted pretty badly. Firstly, the Database has already been created and filled with Data in a Test Environment, I'm not sure if the format is the same or has been updated in Production but since I'm only able to work with the Test Environment right now I'm stuck with using what I have. The Column in one Table shows a Snapshot of a clients account which is set to VarChar(50) but the actual data in the column is formatted like a money format (with a $ and decimal point so for example "$5,000.00" would be an entry in one Row).

What I'm trying to do is a create a WebService that will be used in a iPhone Application and one of the Methods needs to just give a quick display of the total value of all Clients with each specific company but I can't perform a SUM function on a VarChar column and I've tried to CAST and CONVERT the column into money, int, decimal and just about every format I can think of but I keep getting an error stating that I convert the data type varchar to which ever one I'm trying. I think it has something to do with the $ already listed in the Column, so I wanted to know what I could do to either remove the $ sign (like a Trim option) or if there is a better way of doing this that I can't think of. I know the best option would be to convert the column to the appropriate format but as I said, this was a previously designed system and I'm not sure if the Production area is the same (most likely not).

Here's what I've tried so far:

ADO.NET :: Simple Databinding With LINQ Causing Object Reference Not Set?

Aug 15, 2010

I have a user control with a datalist. I just want to do some simple binding but keep getting an object reference not set to an instance of an object error. The following is the code, I am sure I am just missing something simple:

Dim dc As Forms.DataClassesDataContext = New Forms.DataClassesDataContext
Dim formQuery = From fq In dc.v_form_questions _
Where fq.FormTypeID = FormTypeID _

[code]...

When I debug, I see values for the formQuery; I am also able to loop through the formQuery and response.write a field out, however every time I try to bind it to a databound control, I get the Object reference not set to an instance of an object error.I initally was using a simple LinqDataSource object, but needed to set the where parameter to the FormTypeID property of this usercontrol. I had a Where condition defined on Page Init, but started getting the object reference error.
