Something is using a string where a bool is expected. We can't access your system so it's not really possible to help. You need to double check the types of everything and see where the issue is.

Googling is not what you should mention in "What I have tried". Why using this section if you don't show what you have tried? Show appropriate code sample.

Couple of possibilities:
1) Look at your GetFieldValue method - you are calling it with three parameters: null, a string, and an integer. Check the parameters it expects and make sure they are valid. Then look at exactly what it does with them.
2) Same applies to your GetSegments method: you pass two strings - so look at what happens to them inside the method as well.
The error isn't a compilation error - it's an exception. Which means that it's something to do with the values in the data fields you use inside one of the methods.
I'd start by breakpointing each of them and looking at exactly what is happening in the debugger.
