[DUG] interesting issue in .NET

[Jeremy Coulter]

Hi all.
I have come across an issue that I am not sure about in .NET
 
I have a value being returned from a stored procedure. Tha value is a
decimal value, i.e. 511.34
 
But when I do this :-  system.Double(rdr['AMOUNT']).ToString('C');
(converting it to a currency format)
 
I get an error   "Specified cast is not valid"   yet I know there IS a value
being passed in, and it IS a double.
 
anyone know WHY?
 
Thanks, Jeremy
