I have a form with multiple labels that have currency values and I have a button that sums the totals in another label. I am trying to check for null values, but now I can't add the values because the variable is outside the scope of the method. At least I beleive that's why I'm getting the error.
private void cmdcalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(lbl85x11bwsub.Text)) { string s = lbl85x11bwsub.Text; decimal value = decimal.Parse(s, NumberStyles.Currency); } decimal total = 0; total += (value); lblsubtotal.Text = total.ToString("C"); }
