Error in C# Code

Question

User-1251655565 posted

I got error : Input string was not in a correct format for the code below

lblAc.text = 92.53

decimal CC = Convert.ToDecimal(lblAc.Text);
            if (CC >=90 && CC <= 100)
            {
                lblrank.Text = "Excellent";
            }

Any help, Thanks.

As your error states, it sounds like the value that was present within your lblAc Control couldn't properly be parsed to a decimal. Are you absolutely sure that it contains the value "92.53"? You code works just fine if "92.53" is used as seen here.

You may want to consider placing a breakpoint within your code to take a look at what lblAc contains. Are you sure you don't mean to be targeting a TextBox instead of a Label (i.e. "txtAc" instead of "lblAc"?

Hi John,

error : Input string was not in a correct format for the code below

decimal CC = Convert.ToDecimal(lblAc.Text);

As Rion said, please debug the code and check if you pass a specified string representation of a number to Convert.ToDecimal() method. Besides, if you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Decimal.TryParse method instead.
