I am calling a method that returns a decimal, which I need to display in a textbox. 

tbxDisplayCost.Text = dinnerFun.CalcTotalCost(cbxHealthy.Checked);

It’s saying I can’t implicitly convert dec to string…

So I tried two things (probably incorrectly) 

tbxDisplayCost.Text = dinnerFun.CalcTotalCost(cbxHealthy.Checked).ToString;
tbxDisplayCost.Text = (string)dinnerFun.CalcTotalCost(cbxHealthy.Checked);

Neither worked… and I’m kinda scratching my head to figure out how I can get that returned dec to be displayed in the textbox…

    So close:

    tbxDisplayCost.Text = dinnerFun.CalcTotalCost(cbxHealthy.Checked).ToString();

    And if you don’t like the format when it comes out, you can tweak things with a standard or custom format string argument.
