Well basically im having a problem in this line below

CartItem = CType(CartEntry.Value, CartItem)

It says - Unable to cast object of type 'CartItem' to type 'CartItem'.

This is the public cart item coding

Public Class CartItem
    Public Product As Productpage
    Public Quantity As Integer

End Class

and this is my add to cart item class

VB

Private Sub DisplayCart()
        ListBox1.Items.Clear()
        Dim CartItem As CartItem
        Dim CartEntry As DictionaryEntry
        For Each CartEntry In Cart
            CartItem = CType(CartEntry.Value, CartItem)
            ListBox1.Items.Add(CartItem.Display)
        Next
    End Sub

What are you trying to do here? Is the casting correct? Check the classes. Can you convert CartEntry.Value as you are trying to?

I hope its just a logical error you missed...

you are defining a variable that is same as classname! It should not be done... Try anything other than CartItem as your variable name..

Lets say Go ahead and make as:

VB

Dim myCartItem As CartItem
