Hi,

Remove array index [0] from the last of statement. It is giving a string value and you are getting error.

Like,

C#

DataRow dr = (DataRow)MySettings.GetCurrencyCode(CurrId_);

Solution 1

your code is wrong. your code should be :

C#

DataRow dr = (DataRow)MySettings.GetCurrencyCode(CurrId_);

Now try and check if it works.

Good luck.
