Hi,
I have a paypal element on my website and am really struggling with.

This part I am trying to draw a total for the datatable which is formatted to display in currency.

The error is a Format Exception "Input string was not in a correct format."

my code is

PaymentDetailsType pdt = new PaymentDetailsType()
{
OrderDescription = "Payment Details Sushant",
OrderTotal = new BasicAmountType()
{
currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.GBP,
Value = BasicAmountType(double.Parse(lblgTotal.Text))
}
};

I suspect it is the "Value" it is required to be a BasicAmountType.
How can I change the format to "String.BasicAmountType.Value"

Don't convert your value to Double. Try this

C#

Value = BasicAmountType(lblgTotal.Text)

That doesn't work. "Input string was not in a correct format. "

The £ sign needs to be removed from the label text.

I found a solution to that problem create another label without the currency but made it not visible and referenced that label instead.
