    The reason you’re not getting a value is because SUM(Paied) generates an anonymous column, not a column named Paied.

    Here is a simple fix for your problem:

            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT SUM(Paied) As SumOfPaid FROM Debt", new SqlConnection(Program.ConnectionString))) 
            { 
                cmd.Connection.Open(); 
                SqlDataReader myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); 
                while (myReader.Read()) 
                {
                    TotalPaiedAll = Convert.ToDecimal(myReader["SumOfPaid"].ToString()); 
                } 
                cmd.Connection.Close(); 
            }
    

    And here is a better approach, using the ExecuteScalar method:

            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT SUM(Paied) As SumOfPaid FROM Debt", new SqlConnection(Program.ConnectionString)))
            {
                cmd.Connection.Open();
                TotalPaiedAll = (decimal)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
                cmd.Connection.Close();
            }
