C# ?: Conditional Operator

Question

I have this extract of C# 2.0 source code:

object valueFromDatabase;
decimal result;
valueFromDatabase = DBNull.Value;

result = (decimal)(valueFromDatabase          


        

Answer 1

The x : y part need a common type, the database's value is likely some kind of float and 0 is an int. This happens before the cast to decimal. Try ": 0.0" or ": 0D".
