[thelist] ASP.NET: Specified cast is not valid.

		Not quite.  

   The arrRoles variable is defined as an array of elements of type String; however, ExecuteScalar only yields a single object (which is usually assumed to be a string).

   If you want to populate an array, does that mean you have a delimited string coming back?  If so, you'd need to say something like this (assuming that the pipe character is your delimiter):

arrRoles = cmdSelect.ExecuteScalar().ToString().Split("|") 

Cheers,

arrRoles = cmdSelect.ExecuteScalar().ToString();
