I am having problems displaying totals of my decimal columns (sums of columns from SQL Query). I am not certain how it should be done and the error I am getting is:

Input string was not in a correct format.

    
            If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem) Then 
        
                        Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem) 
        
                        Dim fieldValue As Integer = Integer.Parse(dataItem("Total Leads").Text) 
        
                        Leadtotal = (Leadtotal + fieldValue) 
        
                        Dim fieldValue2 As Integer = Integer.Parse(dataItem("Credit Count").Text) 
        
                        CreditTotal = (CreditTotal + fieldValue2) 
        
                        Dim fieldValue3 As Integer = Integer.Parse(dataItem("Our Cost").Text) 
        
                        OurCostTotal = (OurCostTotal + fieldValue3) 
        
                        Dim fieldValue4 As Integer = Integer.Parse(dataItem("Resale Amount").Text) 
        
                        ResaleTotal = (ResaleTotal + fieldValue4) 
        
                    End If 
        
                    If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridFooterItem) Then 
        
                        Dim footerItem As GridFooterItem = CType(e.Item, GridFooterItem) 
        
                        footerItem("Total Leads").Text = Leadtotal.ToString() 
        
                        footerItem("Credit Count").Text = CreditTotal.ToString() 
        
                        footerItem("Our Cost").Text = OurCostTotal.ToString() 
        
                        footerItem("Resale Amount").Text = ResaleTotal.ToString() 
        
                    End If

The first two work fine, probably because they are coming from the database as integers. But even when I try to change #3 and #4 to decimals I get the same error - like this:

    
            Dim fieldValue3 As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(dataItem("Our Cost").Text) 
        
                        OurCostTotal = (OurCostTotal + fieldValue3) 
        
                        Dim fieldValue4 As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(dataItem("Resale Amount").Text) 
        
                        ResaleTotal = (ResaleTotal + fieldValue4)

What am I doing wrong?

That works for decimals, but not the integer columns - why is that? If I add count to the integer fields I just get the count of rows basically, if I add sum I get an error:

Specified cast is not valid.

    
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Total Leads" DataType="System.Int32"  
        
                        HeaderText="Total Leads" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="Total Leads"  
        
                        UniqueName="Total Leads" Aggregate="Sum"> 
        
                        <FooterStyle Font-Bold="True" HorizontalAlign="Center" /> 
        
                        <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" /> 
        
                        <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" /> 
        
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

If I take that out and try to do the integer columns the old way I get sums of ZERO now... Why would that be?

    
            Dim Leadtotal, CreditTotal As Integer 
        
                    If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem) Then 
        
                        Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem) 
        
                        Dim fieldValue As Integer = Integer.Parse(dataItem("Total Leads").Text) 
        
                        Leadtotal = (Leadtotal + fieldValue) 
        
                        Dim fieldValue2 As Integer = Integer.Parse(dataItem("Credit Count").Text) 
        
                        CreditTotal = (CreditTotal + fieldValue2) 
        
                    End If 
        
                    If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridFooterItem) Then 
        
                        Dim footerItem As GridFooterItem = CType(e.Item, GridFooterItem) 
        
                        footerItem("dealer_name").Text = "Totals > > > > >" 
        
                        footerItem("Total Leads").Text = Leadtotal.ToString() 
        
                        footerItem("Credit Count").Text = CreditTotal.ToString() 
        
                    End If

Ok, I dont get this...

SUM works fine on all of my decimal columns, but NOT on my integer columns. I can use count, but count is not what I want.

This WORKS:

    
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Our Cost" DataFormatString="{0:c}"  
        
                        DataType="System.Decimal" HeaderText="Our Cost" ReadOnly="True"  
        
                        SortExpression="Our Cost" UniqueName="Our Cost" Aggregate="Sum"> 
        
                        <FooterStyle Font-Bold="True" /> 
        
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

AND This WORKS:

    
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Credit Count" DataType="System.Int32"  
        
                        HeaderText="Credit Count" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="Credit Count"  
        
                        UniqueName="Credit Count" Aggregate="Count"> 
        
                        <FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Font-Bold="true" /> 
        
                        <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" /> 
        
                        <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" /> 
        
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

BUT THIS DOES NOT!

    
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Credit Count" DataType="System.Int32"  
        
                        HeaderText="Credit Count" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="Credit Count"  
        
                        UniqueName="Credit Count" Aggregate="Sum"> 
        
                        <FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Font-Bold="true" /> 
        
                        <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" /> 
        
                        <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" /> 
        
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

I get "Specified Cast Is Not Valid" whether I have EnableLinqExpressions set to true or false, doesn't matter...
