Parameter entered has the wrong format.. you must be ....me!

Hi

I have the problem that the below defined paramter gets entered in the database as a interger. the Field in the DB is a nvarchar(5) and the controll that suplies the value is a TextBox

this is the parameter definition:
<asp:ControlParameterControlID="tbComment"Name="Comment"PropertyName="Text"Type="String"/>

Why do I get this error, why does ASP to whant to make an integerfrom this text field? When putting a interger value in the textbox all works well and the data gets posted to the database.

I use aSqlDataSource with automatic generated script.

look forwart to a solution

Do you use a stored procedure or ...? make sure the parameter (comment) is not passed to a parameter of type int.
