Server Error in '/' Application.

[Daf]

Just tried using this tool for the first time today and I'm getting this error...

Server Error in '/' Application.

I've tried it with simple code snippets e.g. Dim sExcelFileName As String = "myExcelFile.xls" and it still gives me the same error.


Here is the Stack Trace

[ArgumentException: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page.

Hi Daf,

I just tried this line with our converter however everything worked fine for me - screenshot attached.

Kind regards,

Hi, thanks for the quick reply,  I've just tried it again and still get the same problem.

I would attach screenshot... but don't seem to have the option on the text editor to do so.  I'm accessing your app from the following url
http://www.codechanger.com/ .  If i try it on <http://converter.telerik.com> I get re-directed to <http://converter.telerik.com/ErrorPageResources/error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/Default.aspx>  which I take it is your default error page.

Did you clear your cache before testing it?

I got the same error when converting a lot of code from C# to VB.  Afterward, I clicked the back button, and the 'Convert Code' button was disabled, even when I pasted code into the 'From' text box.

Here is the code (Yeah, I know it is rather lengthy):

This comes from an open source project I am trying to refactor and update/enhance, but with the several thousand lines of code, it gets tiring converting it manually. Project link: Enhanced RichTextBox

I am using Firefox 8.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Hi Zachary,

Sorry for the trouble!

I just tried your snippet in Firefox and Chrome, and I did not see any server errors with the converter. It seems you may have encountered a temporary issue with the converter that has since been resolved. Try your conversion again and you should have more success.

Hope that helps.
