NumericUpDown how to setvalue

Question

Hi I have a numericupdown box and I am trying to load the value of it each time the form loads.

I have tried the following with no joy

   string striko1value = clsData.GetStriko1GasReading();
        decimal striko1 = decimal.Parse(striko1value);
        Striko1Numeric.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(striko1);

I have also tried this

Striko1Numeric.Value = (striko1);

Anyone have any ideas about how I would do this or where I could read up on this.

Answer 1

Supposing that your clsData.GetStriko1GasReading() effectively returns a string that can be interpreted as a decimal value, then you probably have a value that is outside the Minimum or Maximum value allowed to the NumericUpdown control

 string striko1value = clsData.GetStriko1GasReading(); 
 decimal striko1;
 if(decimal.TryParse(striko1value, out striko1))
 {
    if(striko1 > Striko1Numeric.Maximum ||  striko1 < Striko1Numeric.Minimum)
       MessageBox.Show("Value not allowed");
    else
        Striko1Numeric.Value = striko1; 
 }
 else
    MessageBox.Show("Not a valid decimal number");

Answer 2

got it guys the Maximum value that i allowed was less than the value that was at striko1.

Thaks for the help
