Hi,

I'm trying to create a command in arcgis 10 following the walkthrough. The solution is built succesfully but I get this message when I start debugging:
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in firstcommand.dll
This command would divide a shapefile according a number of features. Any idea?

This is the code of .vb file:
