Use Decimal.TryParse to convert txtextrabedcost.Text to a decimal, then add COST to that decimal and set txtextrabedcost.Text to the result of that addition converted ToString

C# is a strongly typed language so you can't add decimal types to string types. You need to convert your input from a string to a decimal. Luckily in .NET that's pretty easy.

public void GETEXTRABEDCOST(int APPLY, Decimal EXTCOST)
{
   decimal COST = APPLY * EXTCOST;
   decimal currentValue;
   if (decimal.TryParse(txtextrabedcost.Text, out currentValue))
   {
      // Choose the formatting option that suits you needs..
      txtextrabedcost.Text = string.Format("{0:0.00}", currentValue + COST);
   }
   else
   {
      // Error handling
   }
}

Hi,

You have mentioned two problems here.
1) It's throwing an exception when the input string is not valid.
2) Not performing addition but rather does concatenation.

Here is the solutions for both of these issues.

1) To avoid the exception you need to make sure that the textbox value is a valid numeric value. How do you do this? Well, so many ways but best is to use .TryParse method as below.

decimal value;
var isValid = decimal.TryParse(textbox1.Text, out value)
isValid will be true if the textbox text is a valid numeric value.

2) In C#, + operator has two meanings. One is to do addition and second do concatenation. Now, if it has any one of the operand is string, it will do concatenation converting the other operand to string.
In your situation, use value variable which gets set if the decimal conversion was successful.

Hope this helps.
