Hi Caz<br />
<br />
that's because ToString() doesn't take any argument.<br />
<br />
you could probably do this: <br />
<br />
tbBudget.Text = RdrGetCustomerDetails[&quot;int<wbr />Budget&quot;].T<wbr />oString();<wbr /><br />
<br />
or if you want the decimal as a decimal.<br />
<br />
// int index = 42 // your decimal value's column-index<br />
tbBudget.Text = RdrGetCustomerDetails.GetD<wbr />ecimal(ind<wbr />ex).ToStri<wbr />ng();<br />
<br />

Hi Caz

you could probably do this:

tbBudget.Text = RdrGetCustomerDetails["intBudget"].ToString();

or if you want the decimal as a decimal.

// int index = 42 // your decimal value's column-index
tbBudget.Text = RdrGetCustomerDetails.GetDecimal(index).ToString();

Try doing:<br />
<br />
tbBudget.Text = Convert.ToDecimal(RdrGetCu<wbr />stomerDeta<wbr />ils[&quot;intBu<wbr />dget&quot;]).To<wbr />String(&quot;0.<wbr />00&quot;);
</div>


Try doing:

tbBudget.Text = Convert.ToDecimal(RdrGetCustomerDetails["intBudget"]).ToString("0.00");

Hi<br />
can anyone help with this problem, I'm trying to add a value to a textbox but cannot seem to get the datareader to convert the value into a decimal.<br />
<br />
tbBudget.Text = RdrGetCustomerDetails[&quot;int<wbr />Budget&quot;].T<wbr />oString(&quot;c<wbr />&quot;);<br />
I keep receiving the error: No overload for method 'ToString' takes '1' arguments<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated on this<br />

Convert to decimal problems

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
