Cannot implicitly convert type 'decimal?' to 'decimal'.

Question

sdr is my sqldatareader and I want to check that the curPrice value which is of type decimal is null.

inrec.curPrice = sdr.IsDBNull(7) ? (decimal?)null : sdr.

Answer 1

How about converting the decmial? type to decimal ?

You have to have what value you like inrec.curPrice to have when sdr.GetDecmial(7) is null.

inrec.curPrice = sdr.GetDecimal(7) ?? 0M;

I assumed that you would want to use 0 if what's returned was null. If not change 0M to some other decimal value.

How about inrec.curPrice = sdr.IsDBNull(7) ? 0M : sdr.GetDecimal(7); ?
