I have a line of C# in my ASP.NET code behind that looks like this:
DropDownList ddlStates = (DropDownList)fvAccountSummary.FindControl("ddlStates");
The DropDownList control is explicitly declared in the markup on the page, not dynamically created. It is inside of a FormView control. When my code hits this line, I am getting an ArithmeticException with the message "Value was either too large or too small for an Int32." This code has worked previously, and is in production right now. I fired up VS2008 to make some changes to the site, but before I changed anything, I got this exception from the page. Anyone seen this one before?
