Question

Look please below this codes throw me : FormatException was unhandled by user code

Codes:

 satis.KDV = Decimal.Parse((from o in genSatisctx.Urun where o.ID == UrunID select o.Kdv).ToString());

How can i rewrite linq query?

Answer 1

You are calling ToString on the query rather than a single result. Even though you may expect only one value to match your query, it will not return just a single value. You have to instruct it to do so using Single, First, Last or the variations of these that also return a default value (SingleOrDefault, FirstOrDefault, LastOrDefault).

In order to avoid an exception, you could change it to use Decimal.TryParse or you could change your code to use a default value if the LINQ query returns something that won’t parse properly. I’d recommend the former or a combination.

Note that in the following example, I have added the call to SingleOrDefault. This ensures that only one value is parsed, even if no value is found, and that if there are multiple results, we get an exception (i.e. it enforces that we get exactly zero or one result to the query).

decimal parsedValue;
if (Decimal.TryParse(
     genSatisctx
     .Urun
     .Where(o => o.ID == UrunID)
     .Select(o=>o.Kdv)
     .SingleOrDefault()
     .ToString(), out parsedValue))
{
   satis.KDV = parsedValue;
}
