RadNumericTextbox 'Specified cast is not valid' problem

[David]

Im trying to set a RadNumericTextbox to the value of 0 which is coming from the database. I keep getting the following error though when the value is trying to bind to the Rad control.

'Specified cast is not valid.'

The data type is an Integer which is set using the code below. If i change the value of Floors to be double this works fine for some reason?! Surely these controls can use integer data types?

Private _Floors As Integer
    Public Property Floors() As Integer
        Get
            Return _Floors
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Integer)
            _Floors = value
        End Set
    End Property

Here is my code for the RadNumericTextbox

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox
       Skin=""
       Type="Number"
       ID="Floors"
       Value='<%# Bind("Floors") %>'
       runat="server" />

Look forward to hearing your solutions.

Thanks in advance.

Hello David,


With RadNumericTextbox, use the DbValue property rather than Value or Text properties.
