System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Get Text for Editor
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
FreeTextBox1.Text = GetDocument()
End If


End Sub 'Page_Load

Public Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
UpdateDocument(FreeTextBox1.Text)
End Sub 'Button_Click

Private Function GetDocument() As String
Dim ds As DataSet = GetDataSet(("SELECT * FROM tblPageContent WHERE
pageID=" + rowID.ToString()))
Dim table As DataTable = ds.Tables(0)
Dim row As DataRow = table.Rows(0)
Dim doc As String = row("content").ToString()
Return doc
End Function 'GetDocument

Querystring is a string. rowID is integer. You need to convert a string to
an integer. Example:

rowID = System.Convert.ToInt32 (request.querystring(id))

Why do I then get

Error:
There is no row at position 0.

I presume it is because GetDocument() is being executed before rowID has a
value!
How can I change this???

Thanks
