Compiler changes its mind

[dancer]

Using ASP.Net and VB.net

Can anybody tell me why a file compiled with no problems yesterday and today
I receive this message?
I made NO CHANGES to the file.

Input string was not in a correct format.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct
format

This is a run-time error, not a compiler error. Try to see if the
application indeed gets some data in incorrect format.

Yes, you are right. I had not filled in every part of the form.
I don't know how to tell it to ignore that or to check for that. What would
you suggest?

How to handle exceptions depends on many factors. If you want to ignore them
just put the code for reading every field in a separate try..catch block
