  hi, You can do the debugging and easily findout the solution to your problem. As the index says "Index out of Range", it seems that the method substring is returning this error, coz you are looking for something which is not there in the string. So just do the debugging and I hope you can easily know where you need to make the changes. Regards, Royal

  h2.Value = Right(t1.Text, t1.Text.Length - pos), because etime obviously returns not only 13:15 but also 14:2 instead 14:02 ... you can also solve it when you store Session time in variable of DateTime type - then you can remove all next parsing code, because DateTime variable has .Minutes or .Hours etc properties :)

Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index) aquestion.Text = queslist.Item(ViewState("qno")).Question Regards Kausar

  t1.Text = Session("etime") pos = InStr(t1.Text, ":") h1.Value = t1.Text.Substring(0, pos - 1) <-- error prone You need to verify that pos <> -1 for example t1.Text = Session("etime") pos = InStr(t1.Text, ":") if pos = -1 then throw new exception(session("etime") & " does not contain the character ':'") h1.Value = t1.Text.Substring(0, pos - 1) Also this may be an easier that using substring: Dim values() as string= split(session("etime"), ":") if values.length>1 then h1.value=values(0) h2.value=values(1) else 'somehting bad happened we didn't find : in the etime variable throw new exception(session("etime") & " does not contain the character ':'") end if

  the code button is buggy :/ t1.Text = Session("etime") pos = InStr(t1.Text, ":") h1.Value = t1.Text.Substring(0, pos - 1) <-- error prone check the pos before using the substring function t1.Text = Session("etime") pos = InStr(t1.Text, ":") if pos = -1 then throw new exception(session("etime") & " does not contain the character ':'") else h1.Value = t1.Text.Substring(0, pos - 1) end if
