hello,

i am facing problem in formatting the date in dropdown list. below i
my source code:

myConn.Open()
drCin = cmdCin.ExecuteReader
radSelectCinema.DataSource = drCin
radSelectCinema.DataTextField = "Cin_Name"
radSelectCinema.DataValueField = "Cin_ID"
radSelectCinema.DataBind()
drCin.Close()

drDate = cmdDate.ExecuteReader
drplstDate.DataSource = drDate
drplstDate.DataTextField = "Show_Date"
drplstDate.DataBind()
drDate.Close()
myConn.Close()

For Each itm As ListItem In drplstDate.Items
Dim tempdate As Date

tempdate = itm.Text
itm.Text = tempdate.ToShortDateString()
Next

The code works fine in ASP.net but when i copy and run it in ASP.Ne
mobile, i got the error as "InvalidCastException: Specified cast is no
valid."

Here is the source error:
Line 68:             myConn.Close()
Line 69:
Line 70:             For Each itm As ListItem In drplstDate.Items
Line 71:                 Dim tempdate As Date
