Question

I have this code here:

decimal dec = (decimal)MyDataTable.Compute("Min(Rooms)", string.Empty);

It always tells me Specified cast is not valid. How could I check if the Compute will succedd at runtime?

Thanks 🙂

Answer 1

Try this

object dec = MyDataTable.Compute("Min(Rooms)", string.Empty);
decimal d;
bool result = Decimal.TryParse(dec.ToString(), out d);

if result is true it means parse was successful
