Hello,

I don't think this is a dnn thing, but more of a general programming isssue.  I have been having a weird exception that shows up occassionally.  I have a custom module for user registration.  The exception is:

ModuleId: 811

I can't recreate the error, and I haven't seen it on Internet Explorer.  It shows up when users register using Safari or Firefox.  I assume this error shows up when trying to parse a decmial, but there is only one field that uses a decimal and this is how I'm passing it in.

Any ideas, is there something I need to check when validating this that I'm missing?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Gregg,

The source if this error is not a decimal-parsing issue, but rather related to the parsing of an int32.  You'll need to look at (and optionally post) other relevant sections of your code for assistance here.

Hope this gets you started!

Hi Gregg,

I don't see anything particularly suspicious there -- are you sure you don't have another conversion (explicit or otherwise) anywhere in that handler?
