    <p>This is one of the strangest errors I've ever seen.</p> <p>I'm doing a very simple call to return values from the HttpRuntime cache. The call is:</p> <pre><code>return HttpContext.Current.Cache[cacheKey]; </code></pre> <p>If it returns null, that's fine. I check if the returned value is null and act accordingly. I've been using this call for a long time.</p> <p>Recently, for some reason, when cacheKey is set to this exact value:</p> <pre><code>"Topic_GridSelectAll:5,null,2010-08-31-20-00-00,Published,desc,5,1" </code></pre> <p>a System.OverflowException is thrown: <strong>Negating the minimum value of a twos complement number is invalid.</strong></p> <p>Nothing about the call, associated code or server has changed. If the cacheKey has slightly different characters, it works perfectly fine. For instance, this cacheKey returns null without throwing any exception:</p> <pre><code>"Topic_GridSelectAll:5,null,2010-08-31-21-00-00,Published,desc,5,1" </code></pre> <p>Notice, the only difference between those two strings is the time characters: 2010-08-31-20-00-00 versus 2010-08-31-21-00-00.</p> <p>Why the hell would that make any difference? And why now after all this time?</p> <p>The stack trace is:</p> <pre><code>[OverflowException: Negating the minimum value of a twos complement number is invalid.] System.Math.AbsHelper(Int32 value) +12753486 System.Web.Caching.CacheMultiple.UpdateCache(CacheKey cacheKey, CacheEntry newEntry, Boolean replace, CacheItemRemovedReason removedReason, Object&amp; valueOld) +142 System.Web.Caching.CacheInternal.DoGet(Boolean isPublic, String key, CacheGetOptions getOptions) +122 MyProject.Helpers.CacheHelper.GetData(String cacheDomain, String cacheKey) in ... </code></pre> <p>I've tried changing the cache call to use HttpRuntime.Cache instead (ie. <code>HttpRuntime.Cache[cacheKey]</code>), but that made no difference. I know it's the same underlying cache provider, but I thought maybe the different call would make a difference. No dice.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
