I found some meaningless code in my project. do you have any idea about its logic? protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string sHafta = string.Empty; try { sHafta = ddlHafta.SelectedValue; } catch (Exception) { sHafta = "0"; } } note that sHafta is a local variable :) -- modified at 5:27 Tuesday 13th November, 2007
