I am having problems initializing my custom user control. I keep getting the following error:

Specified cast is not valid.

System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()

Ive attached my code. Can someone please help me?

You didnt attach your code. Not that I have time to download attachments - can you paste the line in question, and perhaps the ones before and after it?
 
I get the error on the last line below.

Protected WithEvents Head As PriceHeader

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim sScript As String


Head = DirectCast(FindControl("Header1"), PriceHeader)
 
Ok, then that error simply means that the control "Header1" is not a PriceHeader.
 
"Header1" is the id for my custom control. How do I make "Header1" a PriceHeader?
