Q:

Razor behaving diffrent on live server then test server

Hello i am currently developing a ASP.NET MVC 3 application that uses the new razor view engien.
But i am having some problem that dose not accrue when i test the homepage in Visual Studio 2010.
Example one of my pages have the following code
Line 37:     <div class="info">
Line 38:         <a href="@LinkHelper.DisplayProfileUrl((int)Model.Album.User.Id, Model.Album.User.Username)">@Model.Album.User.Username</a>
Line 39:         @if (UserHelper.IsModeratorOrAdministrator(Model.Album.UserId)) { <text>(<a href="@LinkHelper.AlbumEditUrl(Model.Album)">Manage Album</a>)</text>}
Line 40:     </div>

Give the following error on line 39
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Now in Visual Studio 2010, dose this error not accrue, even with the same data. i have even tryed putting a (int) in front of Model.Album.UserId
I do not understand why i am having this error, or how to fix it.

The functions
public static bool IsAuthenticated()
{
    return HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated;
}
    public static bool IsModeratorOrAdministrator(int userId)
    {
        if (!IsAuthenticated())
            return false;
        return GetUserId() == userId || (Roles.IsUserInRole("Moderator") || Roles.IsUserInRole("Administrator"));
    }
public static int GetUserId()
{
    int tryp;
    if(!int.TryParse(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, out tryp))
        return -1;
    return tryp;
}

A:

My first thought is that it isn't a problem with the view engine. Given the System.FormatException, I would double check the values for either the Model.Album.UserId argument for the IsModeratorOrAdministrator method, or the Model.Album argument for the AlbumEditUrl method.
