Aspose Cells gridweb is throwing InvalidCast Exception

Aspose Cells Gridweb is throwing below invalid cast exception when switching the sheets with one of our excel workbooks. One observation is, there is Cell that contains date, if we enter some date in that cell, then this exception is being thrown, if we empty that cell then the template is loading correctly on the GridWeb UI. We are not able to understand if some dependent cell causing the issue or which cell and which worksheet is creating the problem because of adding date to that cell.

Could you please help us to find out what was cell that is causing this cast exception?

We will fix this issue in the next release. For this file, the temporary workaround code is below. After removing the date validation, it will be ok.

           GWExcelEditor.ImportExcelFile("C:\\Users\\peter\\Downloads\\production_worksheet.xlsx");
           GridValidationCollection vcs = GWExcelEditor.WorkSheets["NOTES & RATING"].Validations;
           for(int i= vcs.Count-1; i>=0;i--)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(i+"    validation info:  type:"+ vcs[i].ValidationType+ " , "+vcs[i].Formula1 +" "+ vcs[i].Formula2);
                ArrayList list = vcs[i].AreaList;
                foreach(GridCellArea area in list)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(i + " area in validation " +area.StartRow+" "+area.StartColumn) ;
                }
                if(vcs[i].ValidationType==GridValidationType.Date)
                {
                    vcs.RemoveAt(i);
                    Console.WriteLine(i + " removed validation "  );
                }

            }
