Input string was not in a correct format

[eulogy6]

Hi all,

:::::In users.aspx page I have the following:

Private Sub Linkbutton4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Linkbutton4.Click

Dim user As String
user = txt2.Text

Dim pass As String
pass = txt3.Text

Session("Username") = user
Session("Password") = pass

Response.Redirect("newpage.aspx")
End Sub

::: In newpage.aspx I have the following:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then

Dim user As String
Dim pass As String

user = Session("Username")
pass = Session("Password")

If user Or pass = "" Then
Response.Redirect("users.aspx")
End If
End If

End Sub

When I fire the Linkbutton4 I have the error message:
Input string was not in a correct format

You have any idea?

Thanx

I havent programmed for web for a long time. So:

-You save strings in session variables. Do the txt2 and txt3 contain text, or one is empty?

-if(user Or pass = ""). Not like this.
if(user = "" orelse pass = "")

I am guessing because it has been time since i last used asp.net.

TipGiver thanx for your kind replay,

both txt2 & txt3 contain text

try this Response.Redirect("newpage.aspx", false)

BTW this logic would be better placed in either the Global.asax BeginRequest event or use the built in forms authentication module.
