I am trying to use DNN's PropertyEditorControl in my module to allow users to edit values for a custom object. I used the ProfilePropertyDefinition class as Guide as to how to use & control the Editor's display of the object properties.

However, I am having some problems. One of my Property is of "Double" type. It shows correctly in the Editor. However, after the user updates it, and presses "Next", I am always getting an Exception, which says "Cannot convert from System.String to System.Double".

I cannot understand this behaviour. When the same control is able to convert String to Integer (e.g. for ViewOrder property), why can't it convert it to Double. Am I missing something (like I need to put some Attribute on the property to guide the conversion)??

Please Help. This is really important as well as urgent.

The reason why this doesn't work is because DNN doesn't have a Double editor for the ProperyEditorControl.  If you login under Portal Administrator and go to Host -> Lists -> DataType you'll send the types supported by this control.  The solution: create one and add your entry to this list.  They are stored in Library\Controls\PropertyEditor\Edit Controls.  If I were you I'd simply take the IntegerEditControl.vb and modify it.
