Guys,

I have some code I have just moved to another machine running IIS7 (the same as my web server). When I try and run it on the new machine I am getting this invalid typecast error. I am not sure why it doesn't work. Both machines are running the same version of ASP.NET.

My tag is declared like:

Code:

<meta name="keywords" id="lbSiteKeywords" runat="server" />

And my code to declare and sign it is (code is in Delphi/Pascal):

Code:

lbSiteKeywords: System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlMeta;

Code:

lbSiteKeywords := Page.Master.FindControl('lbSiteKeywords') as HtmlMeta;

Does anyone have any ideas why this could be failing. As you can see I am making no mention to HtmlGenericControl.

Oh dear. Ignore me. I added runar="server" to the <head> html tag and didn't notice.
