Hi all, I have a perplexing problem....

protected void ArticleFormView_ItemUpdating(object sender,
FormViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
try
{
 //Next line is line 36
 if (!ArticleDataSource.IsValidNewValues(e.Keys, e.NewValues))
  e.Cancel = true;
}
catch (FormatException)
{
 e.Cancel = true;
 Page.Validators.Add(new StaticValidator("Invalid price"));
}
}

As you can see I am catching FormatException.  I put a breakline on line 36
and when I hit F10 ArticleDataSource.IsValidNewValues will throw a
FormatException.  At this point I would expect my Catch to kick in, but as
you can see from the following exception information it is not.  Does anyone
know why this is?

Thanks

Pete
