I have a print button on a web project form. When a user clicks the print button nothing happens. When the user clicks the print button again an error is thrown. How can this be fixed and why does it happen?

Code Error:

well the error is very explicit, there's an error in converting types. You've not included the code where the error is happening i.e. where you are using SQL classes. Post the complete code.
