We can't help you: the error is in the data rather than the code (though using TryParse instead of Parse would mean you could handle it better) and we have no access to that.

Basically, whatever your code is putting into the hidden field isn't a number, so when you try to convert it, it complains.
The first thing to do is to find out what exactly it actually is: use the debugger, or write to a log file to find out, and then work back from there to find out why it is that value.

Sorry, but we can't do any of that for you!
