Question

string mvi = Moneys.GetValue(8) as string;
if (mvi == null)
     // I am getting exception Here if its null?
     money.Currency= Convert.ToDecimal("");
else
     // Currency is Decimal
     money.Currency= Convert.ToDecimal(mvi);
// I am getting exception Here if its null?
money.Currency= Convert.ToDecimal("");

Can anybody tell me how to do this?

Here’s my version of Anthony Pegram’s answer:

string mvi = Moneys.GetValue(8) as string;
money.Currency = 0M;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(mvi))
   if (!Decimal.TryParse(mvi, out money.Currency))
     throw new FormatException("mvi");

On the whole, it looks quite a bit like the one Alex made, only it treats empty as zero and shows more error-handling.
