    Urgent Help!! cast issue

    Hi,

    I need some urgent help on this block of code which is throwing up error every time. I get a an error of:

    'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in System.Core.dll

    This is the block of code..anyone have any idea the correct way to do this. it is slightly difficult for me to pin point the issue as I did not write the code.

        public List<PageWithSidebar> ProductRanges
    {
        get
        {
            var ranges = this.GetPropertyValue<List<IPublishedContent>>("productRanges");
            //return ranges != null ? ranges.Cast<PageWithSidebar>().ToList() : new List<PageWithSidebar>();
            return ranges != null ? ranges.Cast<PageWithSidebar>().ToList() : new List<PageWithSidebar>();
        }
    }

    Thanks

    Nav

    Hi Nav,

    You need to work out how a List<IPublishedContent> can be cast to PageWithSidebar.

    Some things to look for:

    • Is ModelsBuilder or any Model mapper being used?
    • What data type is "productRanges" and does it have a custom value converter?
    • Is there a type converter?

    I sorted it I had to change the Ienumerable to "list"..The code above had this change just before I tested it lol

    Thanks for the reply :-)
